It’s a non-profit organization dedicated to helping former active duty members apply the skills they learned in the military in civilian life.
FitOps was founded by Matt Hesse, the CEO of Performix and an Army veteran.
“Today, there is not adequate infrastructure or services to help veterans transition to civilian life from military service,” Hesse told Fox News.
“The donations we raise will make an enormous difference – with it, we will be able to reach more veterans – offering training, education, counseling, support and mentorship,” added Hesse. “Veterans exiting service face unbelievable challenges that most of the civilian world doesn’t understand: a loss of sense of purpose and mission, daily drive, routine and being part of a larger mission and team. This is what we aim to replace through the FitOps program.”
