A little about RJ

I am first and foremost a dedicated husband and proud father of four that has spent my adult life in uniformed service or supporting those that still are. My ties to the military are deep and span my entire life. I grew up in a Marine Corps household before making the decision to enlist in the Army as a helicopter crewman in 1999. During my 22-year career, I experienced some of the best (and worst) times of my life while serving next to the greatest men and women I’ve ever met. While climbing the ladder to Command Sergeant Major, I served in every enlisted leadership position an aviation unit has, served in multiple combat deployments, and spent a large portion of my career with the 101st Airborne.

I am married to my best friend and fellow Army retiree. She inspires me to be the best version of me even though she is an Alabama fan. Together we’ve raised a Sailor, a Soldier, a college student, and a soon to be high school graduate. I am originally from Florida, but call Chesapeake, VA home since making the transition to this side of the uniform. Despite that, I still love my Seminoles and Jaguars! We enjoy traveling, live sports, concerts, and filling our lives with amazing memories.

As someone that received an initial low rating, I understand the challenges of the disability claims process. After getting my 100% P&T rating, I wanted to dedicate my efforts to educating fellow Veterans through their process. I strive to ensure no one goes through the difficulties I did in their claims journey. I am proud to be a member of the VA Claims Insider team and carry the title of Coach. With me, Veterans can expect a straight shooter that values candor, passion, and dedication. Those are hallmarks of who I am and values I admire in those I encounter. I wake up every day motivated and driven to excel in a role that I am extremely passionate about.
