Veterans SOP Team
Lesslie
Founder/Operations Director
11-year Coast Guard Veteran
VA-accredited · 8 years teaching the system
The VA system is a process: evidence, decisions, and procedure. I spent 11 years in the Coast Guard and then years helping people understand that process so they were not guessing. Veterans SOP exists so veterans and families can learn how the system works and decide their next step with a clear picture.
Kolby
Founder/Technical Engineer
4 Year Coast Guard Veteran
Electronics Engineering Technology Degree
I didn’t know I was eligible for VA services until 15 years after leaving the military. I know there are many Veterans like me, and I wanted to be part of the change our community needs.
Mike
Founder/Project Manager
Large Scale Construction Project Manager
First Responder
Mike helped lay the foundation for Veterans SOP. He shared what he knew and made the starting point clearer for the people who came after him. He died on February 20, 2023. We remember him here.

I am passionate about improving economic, educational, and mental health outcomes in the communities I belong to. VSOP’s mission aligns with my life’s work and gives me the opportunity to further those goals in a meaningful way.
Justin
Partner/System Administrator
11 Year Coast Guard Veteran
As a Veteran who has navigated the process myself, I understand how overwhelming it can be. My passion is to educate and support fellow Veterans as they navigate the complexities of the VA system and access the services available to them.
Haley
Partner/Records Administrator
Spouse of a 20 year Coast Guard Veteran
Over 15 years in the Medical Field
Watching my husband retire from the military and transition to civilian life made me realize there has to be a better way to navigate this life-changing event. I knew that if I could help make this transition smoother for others, that’s what I wanted to do.
