Welcome to the Idaho NRCS Veterans Emphasis Program webpage!

I am a disabled American veteran who recently retired from the U.S. Navy after 23 plus years.  Prior to my retirement, I participated in the Transition Assistance Program.  This program is designed to help the military member ease into the civilian job market after military service.  It emphasizes employment opportunities in the government, non-military sector.  The program was very helpful to me in obtaining my current position with the Natural Resources Conservation Service and has helped many other veterans in seeking employment with the Federal Government.

As a veteran with experience in obtaining federal employment, I can provide assistance to other veterans in understanding their rights and options regarding employment and related issues.  The Veteran's Emphasis Program is directed at assuring that all veterans have the full measure of equal program participation and employment in the Federal Service.

As Veterans Emphasis Program Manager, I will strive to provide education and awareness to veterans on the opportunities the NRCS has in rewarding and challenging careers.  I will also keep NRCS Veterans informed on current information and issues affecting Military Veterans.

The websites listed below are excellent sources of information on veteran's issues, rights and available programs.

I thank you for taking the time to visit this website.  If you would like more information on the Veterans Emphasis Program, or just want to talk about veterans issues, please feel free to contact me.
