About Us
22 Veterans of the U.S. military lose the battle at home every day, and take their own lives. They leave loved ones, family and friends behind. Whatever the number may be… one is too many. The “Skate For The 22” Foundation wants to raise public awareness in an effort to end this crisis and provide a non-government support program to veterans. This Foundation was created by veterans to support fellow veterans and their families and provide financial assistance to the families touched by veteran suicide. We use hockey, at no cost to the veterans, to get them back in a supportive, team environment.

I transitioned out of the Army after just under 6 years of service in May of 2015. My wife is originally from Burlington so we moved back to the area and as a former college hockey player I sought out a group to skate with when I got back in the area. That group was the "Skate for the 22 Foundation" and little did I know that group would help me navigate a challenging transition from service.
Bobby Colliton and the Skate for the 22 are creating a support structure for combat veterans who struggle to find a healthy mental and physical state after their time in service through the sport of ice hockey here in the New England area. I recently volunteered to join the board of directors of the foundation to help promote and shape the organizations future.
I've also just entered the cybersecurity industry as the North East Regional Rep for a startup out of Washington DC called Verodin.
