AJ is a 21-year U.S. Air Force veteran who hails from the island of Guam. Shortly after 9/11, he enlisted in the Air Force and served honorably from 2002 to 2023. He retired as a Senior Master Sergeant from the Command and Control Battle Management career field. For the majority of his career, he worked as a Weapons Director, where he provided leadership and tactical command and control to aircraft supporting air and ground combat operations. He has served in multiple stateside and overseas assignments, including combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

AJ has always had a natural passion for looking after others, which led him to join the U.S. Armed Forces and now the Just4Veterans team. When not working, he enjoys spending time with family and friends. He currently resides in Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife and two daughters.

AJ looks forward to helping fellow veterans navigate the VA claim process and getting them the rating they deserve.
