BufferSprings

Last week we continued our road-show at the National Association of State Workforce Agencies Veterans Conference in DC, and I left there even more fired up about what we are doing here. I had the chance to connect with DVOPs, LVERs, veterans, milspouses, employers, and fellow veteran business owners—people who are out there every day, making a difference. Sharing the story of how BufferSprings was built from sheer grit and determination was an absolute privilege. I hope it sparked something in those of you who are ready to build your own path. Big shoutout to Lori Adams, CPM from NASWA—you're one of the fiercest advocates for our community. And to Shannon Offord, ⚓️ Kim Lott ⚓️, and Michael Witt at DirectEmployers Association—thank you for being incredible partners on this mission. Also, great getting to hang with my friends and fellow vets Amber Gaither, PMP, from National Labor Exchange, Chad McFarlane & Awilda Carozza 🌸 from SVA, and the Massachusetts vets squad out in full force (Michael Aldred, Baotien (Bao) N., Craig Desmarais M.Ed, Vivian Rogers, Christopher Feugill, Christopher Mills, Tom LaRose—you all showed up and made it count. I also want to give a special shout to Esmeralda Ramirez, one of our SkillBridgers. She’s only been with us a month, and she’s already making a big impact in our company and community. So great to see you in person, sister. To everyone I connected with, thank you. Let’s keep pushing forward. The work’s not done yet.

Three years ago today, BufferSprings started with a simple idea: to help military-connected talent navigate their careers and grow with some of the best employers on the planet. Today, that idea has grown into a movement that’s driving real change across our community. We didn’t get here alone. It’s been the collective effort of our 100% Veteran & Milspouse team, our partners, and everyone who’s believed in us and our mission that’s made it possible. I’m proud of what we’ve built "By, For, & With" our people, but more importantly, I’m excited for what’s next. I’ve shared some thoughts on where we’ve been and where we’re headed—if you’re curious, check it out: https://lnkd.in/eUk4KxEE We’re just getting started, and together, we’re going to keep pushing the limits of what’s possible. Thanks for marching with us the past 1,096 glorious days! Happy Birthday to the entire BufferSprings family and partnership universe. #BufferSprings #MilitaryEffective

Just had an awesome time chatting with 🦍Keenan Hart💜 & Dante McClain on the All Innovation podcast! We covered a ton of ground—from my days in the Marines to the wild ride of starting and growing BufferSprings, and most importantly, how we can bridge the skills gap by tapping into the incredible potential of our veterans. We got real about the misconceptions surrounding military talent, the future of hiring, and why diversity and inclusion aren’t just buzzwords—they’re the key to building stronger teams. Big thanks to Keenan and Dante for the great conversation and for shedding light on these important topics. If you're looking to step up your game in hiring and leadership, give this episode a listen. These guys are doing something special, and I’m honored to be part of it.

Hey LinkedIn fam, A quick invite to a workshop I'm hosting at the NASWA Veterans Conference in DC on August 7-9th that is near and dear to my heart entitled: "From Street Kid to CEO: A Veteran’s Non-Traditional Journey Into Entrepreneurship." Growing up in one of the poorest zip codes in the U.S., I never imagined I’d end up where I am today. From the streets to the military, I discovered my passion for business and people, overcoming several insane obstacles along the way to inevitably build BufferSprings. Expect raw, real stories, and practical advice on turning dreams into reality. I’ll share lessons learned, the “Ikigai” concept, and strategies for market research and business validation. Huge shout out to our wonderful partners at the National Association of State Workforce Agencies, and my good friend Lori Adams, CPM for inviting me to be a part of this show and for all you do for our military-connected community. Join me at NASWA to explore how to turn obstacles into opportunities. Check out the full conference details here: https://lnkd.in/eCeetJ6E Hope to see you there! #BufferSprings #NASWA
