Jason and Brad grew up together as kids. The friendship grew into a brotherhood when they both joined the US Marine Corps shortly after High School. They were both deployed to highly active combat zones. Upon returning home, they turned to the outdoors in order find purpose, meaning, and solitude. Both of them also earned business degrees after the service and decided they wanted to share their unique and healthy coping methods with all Veterans. The vision for Abled Veterans Outdoors (AVO) is a nation-wide nonprofit program that can serve the Veteran populous in various events throughout the country.
Abled Veterans Outdoors focuses on empowering Veterans with life skills and opportunities to connect with the community. Please see our programs page for details on our current opportunities.
