After 6 duty assignments and multiple deployments he was ready to move on to his next adventure. Him and his wife decided to move back to her hometown area of San Antonio. Before retiring he decided to take advantage of the Skillbridge program. Theron joins Jay and Donna to talk about the program; the process to participate in the program; how it helped him transition from military to civilian life; and how it gave him the skills to start his own home inspection business.Theron Van Meter LinksWebsite: www.silverspurpropertyinspections.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/theron.vanmeter/FB: https://www.facebook.com/SilverSpurPropertyInspections/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theron-vanmeter-795b1157/Donna’s LinksWebsite: www.rebel-llc.comBook: Warrior to Patriot Citizen (2017)Blog: Taking Off The ArmorIG: @thetransitioningwarriorTwitter: @wtpcFB: The Transitioning WarriorJay’s LinksWebsite: https://j2servantleadership.com/ Book: Breaking Average (2020)Stay up to date and gain early access to new podcasts and upcoming events by signing up for our newsletter at Coming Home Well NewsletterFollow us on our socials Instagram @cominghomewell_bts Facebook at Coming Home Well LinkedIn at Coming Home Well Twitter @ComingHomeWell
