Christopher Castle is earning his Bachelors of Science in Business/Public Administration, at the University of Phoenix in Westminster, Colorado. He also works full time with the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Benefits Administration as a Loan Specialist. Obtaining a position at the VA opened Chris’s eyes to giving back to the community through public service. “It motivated me to go back to college and finish my bachelors degree, and has me seriously considering pursuing a graduate degree in public administration.”

Chris would love to develop a national program to educate veterans and their families about the benefits and services available from federal, state, and local, institutions that fall within public, private, and non-profit sectors. As a veteran himself, he was unaware of the multitude of providers offering assistance to men and women who have served. His vision is to create a forum that allows veterans to find organizations that provide them with the benefits and services they might need under one roof, or during the same event. Chris finds inspiration through his family, from his wife Liz and daughter Kaitlyn, and in his free time enjoys travelling and exploring different cultures.
