Jamison Purry, is a 41 year old African American, father of three and a husband. He served in the Army National Guard as a medic for seven years. Jamison is passionate about creating better communities, advocating for veterans, people of color and people with disabilities, bridging socioeconomic gaps due to education disparities and emphasizing the importance of strong families.


Currently, Jamison works for Multnomah County Veterans Services as a veteran services officer and outreach/referral specialist educating and connecting veterans and their dependents to the benefits they have earned.


He brings the expert knowledge and lived experience of our service members and communities of color. He sees the value in intersecting identities. Service members intersect all demographics of race, age, gender, and religion, and many suffer from mental and physical disabilities. Jamison’s assistance to service members serves all of our vulnerable communities.
