Robert outside of the military:
Proud husband of retired wife, father of two beautiful daughters, paralyzed veteran and Catholic. Enjoys gaming, food scence, archery, billiards, and traveling.
Robert on joining the IAVA Cavalry:
To lead the next generation of policy change and advocacy for my brothers and sisters who carried the battle during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
How the military experience affected Robert’s personal growth:
My service in the military has given me the tools and experience to be resilient and overcome any challenge that I may face in life.
IAVA’s policy priorities that are the most pressing:
Given the current dynamic in our society and political landscape, Protecting Our Democracy is the most pressing. The status quo of continuous pendulum between far left and far right is not sustainable and I challenge our brothers and sisters to continue their service in this space.
IAVA’s policy priorities with the strongest personal connection for Robert:
Alternative Therapies. As a medic and as a catastrophically injured veteran who has extensively used the Veteran Affairs medical system, I have witnessed how cookie-cutter, traditional medicine has hurt our population. I have also seen first-hand how some of these alternatives have changed lives with minimal side effect.
We can’t do this alone; we need your support to ensure the voices of veterans are heard nationwide.
