At Comcast, I led the development of consumer-facing competitive sales and marketing strategy for a region which covers the majority of Pennsylvania, as well as portions of West Virginia, Ohio and Maryland. In addition to competitive strategy, I led the development of strategy and execution of marketing and sales events across the same region.

At Checkpoint, our mission was to empower Veterans and military families living in Southwestern Pennsylvania by improving connections between them and their local communities. Nearly every other place where there are as many Veterans as there are here locally in the Pittsburgh region, there is a base – a hub – that becomes the center of gravity for nearly all services and resources that are delivered to those local Vets and their families. In Southwestern PA, we don’t have that base, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t have a lot of great resources. Far beyond the local Veteran Service Organizations like the VFW, American Legion and Disabled American Veterans, we have scores of nonprofits, government programs and community groups throughout the region that provide countless types of assistance. But because there’s no hub, the effort and understanding it takes to navigate the system often becomes too much to overcome and Veterans end up without the help they need. That’s why we created Checkpoint. The services Checkpoint provided could essentially be broken into three areas. First, we created a hub – a central access point where Veterans and military family members could find the things that can improve their lives throughout the community. Second, we worked with the organizations and individuals who comprise the vast network of Veteran supports in the Pittsburgh region to provide thought leadership and expertise in improving the “big picture” of services. Finally, we worked to become a catalyst for a stronger, more vibrant and engaged Veteran community through our podcast, Veteran On Fire. In late 2015, the Board of Directors and I decided to retire the Checkpoint brand, website and suite of services in concert with the rollout of PAServes, a similar but more robust community-based program in Western PA. You can learn more about PAServes by visiting their website at http://pittsburgh.americaserves.org/.

Veterans Place is a Pittsburgh non-profit that provides low-cost housing and recovery programs to homeless military Veterans. Our mission is to help our Veterans to progress toward self-sufficiency and productive lives as they re-enter the community.
