Founded by a U.S. Army veteran, Heroes Relief Fund understands the real-life challenges. After leaving the Army in 1998, I entered the insurance industry — first as an agent & adjuster and later as a consumer. Over the years, I’ve seen what so many families experience: incomes that stay the same while insurance premiums and deductibles keep rising.

After getting my P&C Agent’s license in 1998, I got my adjuster’s license in 2003 and began working as a property adjuster and saw another side of the struggle — families trying to come up with thousands of dollars to pay their Wind/Hail or Other Perils deductible before repairs could even begin. I watched good people live in damaged homes, waiting and worrying because they couldn’t afford to get their house back to the way it was before the loss.

In recent years, deductibles of 2% or more have become the norm. As a husband and father with kids on the road, I’ve felt the same pressure. When my own home suffered over $150,000 in wind and hail damage, I had to borrow money just to pay our 2% deductible. I know exactly how hard that feels.

That’s why I founded Heroes Relief Fund — to help families bridge the financial gap when disaster strikes. Our mission is simple: to stand beside veterans in their toughest moments, providing relief, hope, and a helping hand when it’s needed most.
