Shane Hicks Helping Veterans Get Into Entrepreneurship After The Military
Shane Hicks graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point.
Early in his military career, he took a blow to the head in hand-to-hand combat training that resulted in two torn retinas, a concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). After three surgeries, Shane was unexpectedly medically separated and had to fight for disability benefits. He then struggled to build a business within his residual capacity while finding employment opportunities for his formerly unemployed military spouse. Together, they learned the power of relationships and networking.
For over ten years, Shane and his wife have helped coach numerous startups and established businesses to grow their businesses. RebootVA.org was established to provide Veterans and their families with the resources they need to grow their own businesses, just like Shane and his wife had to do 25-years ago.
