The Honor Foundation is a life-changing program that gave me the clarity, confidence, and connections I needed to successfully transition from the military to the civilian world. The personalized coaching, invaluable classes, and unmatched camaraderie among the fellows set it apart as an extraordinary experience. Thanks to THF, I’m not just prepared for my next chapter, I’m excited and equipped to thrive in it.
The Honor Foundation took me from concerned with what I would do post-retirement to 100% confident in finding and keeping quality future employment. The knowledge and professionalism of the campus staff was incredible, as where the industry speakers brought in to teach. Strongly recommend this program to anyone finishing their military service!
This program was truly incredible! Prior to starting this program, my nerves were all over the place regarding interview skills, networking skills and translating the skills I’ve acquired in the military into civilian terms. I now feel confident in marketing myself and skills to any company or organization I’d like to work for.
The Honor Foundation has been a transformative experience, providing unparalleled support and resources for transitioning military professionals. Their dedicated team and comprehensive programs have empowered me to confidently navigate my career transition and achieve my goals. I am deeply grateful for their unwavering commitment to helping veterans succeed in their post-military careers.
The Honor Foundation has been an instrumental part of my transition journey, providing me with invaluable tools, mentorship, and a network of like-minded professionals. Their staff, alumni, and generous donors have created a program that truly empowers veterans to find purpose and thrive in their next chapter. I am deeply grateful for this transformative experience.

He hopes to work with high school athletes, teaching them how to train safely and effectively. Tom believes everyone deserves access to quality education about their health, and he sees the high school environment as the ideal place to make that impact. With his background in Biobehavioral Health and his experiences in Denver, Tom is committed to contributing to the well-being of my community.

These experiences shaped a leadership approach grounded in discipline, humility, accountability, and the ability to operate effectively amid uncertainty and complexity.His STEM foundation began in the Navy, where technology, science, and reverse engineering were central to mission success. His current work leading R&D programs, combined with this background, motivated him to pursue a STEM-designated MBA at UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School.
