About Us

Veteran Building is a nonprofit organization led by a retired Army veteran with over sixty years of experience in construction.

Our mission is to revitalize communities by renovating distressed properties, creating affordable housing opportunities for first-time homebuyers—especially veterans and their families.

Through craftsmanship, service, and integrity, we help transform neighbourhoods and empower individuals to invest in their future through homeownership.

I then enlisted into the Army and became a Military Policeman for 3 years. I served in Stuttgart, Germany and White Sands Missile Range. I have been in the Construction Industry as a Plaster tender, Estimator, Project Manager, Project Executive and Owner of 2 companies which are Disabled Veteran Owned and Minority Woman Owned Small Businesses. I recently retired to start a nationwide company to serve our veterans who are being discharged to help them get into their first home.

Our company mission statement is "Strengthening communities by renovating distressed properties and providing affordable homeownership opportunities for first-time buyers, targeting veteran families". This is my focus for my 70-80 years. If all goes well, I'll extend it to my 90th Birthday.
