CO HOST
Glenn, better known as JR, served in the United States Navy as an Aviation Ordnanceman with VFA-146. After proudly serving his country, JR transitioned to becoming a Federal Correction Officer. Unfortunately, due to an injury, Glenn had to change his career path and began working at a local high school, where his true passion for mentorship blossomed. He utilized his natural abilities to counsel those around him, from veterans to civilians, offering sound advice, knowledge, and a desire to serve. With family being of utmost importance, Glenn relocated his family to Texas, where he continued his work with the government.
Although the journey outside of the military has not always been smooth, Glenn has thrived, leveraging the skills and relationships he developed along the way. As a Navy veteran, Glenn has embarked on a new mission to help other veterans navigate their transition to "Life After the Military."
