Reflections on Legacy: A Journey from Music to Veteran Advocacy

In the intersecting worlds of innovation, technology, and veteran advocacy, I find myself reflecting on the profound legacy left by my grandfather, Jim Freeman, and how it continues to shape my journey. As a nationally syndicated columnist, technologist, and co-founder of National Invest In Veterans Week®, my work stands at the intersection of technology, veteran empowerment, and social responsibility. In March 2024, my contributions were honored when my work was entered into the Congressional Record—a rare recognition that underscores the importance of advocating for veteran-owned businesses and uplifting veteran entrepreneurs nationwide.
