Quotes:

"It's wild that 82% of the men and women who've served our country probably haven't taken advantage of it because they aren't aware of it."
 
"I think that there's still a lot of misinformation because people, you know, back in the day, back, I mean, I've been in the business almost 21 years, back in the day, VA loans weren't popular. They were very, they were hard. Let's be honest. I mean, we didn't have the technology. We had the confusion, all those things."
  
 "It all starts with education. The VA handbook, the VA 26-7, which is a government document that lives on the VA website is there for free for everybody to look at."
 
 "We can use this platform to make a small dent in a big problem. And knowing that if we can get enough people on board to say, yes, we're going to take it from a problem to a solution and watch lives change across this country."
