He also works closely with Hope for the Warriors, the nonprofit organization that assists combat-wounded service members and their families and is the founder of Camp Southern Ground, which is a residential camp for kids and teens during the summer months, and for the rest of the year, it serves veterans, aiding them as they assimilate back to civilian life. .
