This episode of Veteran Voices features Brian Arrington. Brian Arrington, USAF (ret), M.S. is CEO/Founder of VETS2INDUSTRY LLC and Vets2Industry Foundation, Inc. and is a Business Initiatives Consultant with Wells Fargo. Brian retired July 2019, from the United States Air Force with Robins AFB, GA as his final duty station. His distinguished career led him to deploy to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Qatar and provide humanitarian relief throughout SE Asia during the tsunami, Haiti during the earthquake, and in Turkey supporting refugee evacuations during the Israel-Lebanon Mideast Crisis. Brian’s career has taken him to 90 countries and 5 of the 7 continents. In his last year of 20-years devoted service to the U.S. Air Force, Brian learned there were over 45,000 Veteran Service Organizations nationwide that provided free services and support to U.S. military families and realized a huge gap existed between available free Veteran, Military Spouse, and dependent children resources and benefits and the knowledge of their existence among our nations heroes and their families. With this newly discovered knowledge, Brian vowed to eliminate the knowledge gap and ensure the success of every veteran and their families by creating an online library, a free single-site repository of every free Veteran Service Organization to include providing mentorship and information services to each knowledge-seeker. Since the library’s creation, March 2019, Brian has led VETS2INDUSTRY’s growth by reaching 16,000 veterans and military spouses with over 46,000 page-views and he continues to supply employment opportunity success with the ever-growing grassroots volunteer force of veterans and military spouses he leads.
Brian is married with 6 children, resides in Atlanta, is a Global Goodwill Ambassador (GGA), an active alumnus of Centurion Military Alliance, Hiring our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program, FourBlock, American Corporate Partners, volunteers with VETLANTA, the National Black MBA Association Atlanta Chapter, Minority Veterans of America and is a student veteran leader and student ambassador at Syracuse University where he is currently pursuing his MBA and a concurrent Masters in Entrepreneurship. He holds 2 A.A.S. from the Community College of the Air Force, a B.A. in History, a Graduate Certificate in Homeland Security, and a M.S. in Management from Thomas Edison State University and is a certified Georgia State Hostage Negotiator.
