Meet Your VA Benefits Training Instructor
Founder Nathan Sutton served eight years in the Marine Corps, completing three combat tours. Following his military service, he spent twelve years working for the Department of Veterans Affairs and founded three nonprofit organizations dedicated to supporting Veterans.
“For 16 years, I’ve made it my mission to understand not just one part of the system, but how all the pieces fit together. The VA offers hundreds of benefits and programs, yet less than half of Veterans use any of them – the main reason is that few people take the time to truly understand and educate them. My goal is to help more Veterans access the benefits they’ve earned—and to stand in the way of organizations that charge the Veteran for that assistance.”
