I came to be involved with K9s For Warriors two-years ago. I had always dreamed of working for a non-profit and using my abilities to help a good cause and I also have a great affinity for the military as my father served in the US Marine Corp and was a Vietnam Veteran who was injured in combat. I had the opportunity to achieve this dream when a Director of Communications position came open in April of 2015.
