U.S. Marine Veteran & Retired APD Lieutenant
Jeff brings his personal experience as a U.S. Marine veteran and 25 years of service with the Albuquerque Police Department to this group.
He understands the culture of service and the challenges that can come with transitioning between roles, careers, and life stages.
A Place to Take Off the Armor
Military service can become a significant part of who you are.
When the uniform comes off, or the shift ends, the experiences don't necessarily stay behind.
You may be navigating:
- Life after service or retirement
- Stress and burnout
- Changes in identity and purpose
- Relationships and family challenges
- Difficult experiences from the job
- Adjusting to life outside the role
- Feeling misunderstood by people who haven't lived it
Beyond the Boots & Camouflage provides a supportive space to talk, listen, connect, and be understood.
