I chose to become a coach with this company because I’ve seen firsthand the struggles many veterans — including close friends and family members — go through. Too often, they’re unsure how to get the ratings they’ve rightfully earned, which could drastically improve their lives and their families' futures.

The lack of guidance often leads to frustration and, eventually, giving up — especially after facing rejection. That’s why I joined this company: to be a part of the solution. Knowing I can help someone take control of their future and improve their life genuinely makes my heart smile.

I’ve always believed in staying grounded and never being above helping anyone in need.

I love being a veteran coach because it allows me to give back in a meaningful way to those who've given so much just like I did. I'm a veteran myself, and I know how frustrating and confusing the VA system can be. Before started working with WSDV, I was struggling too. They helped change my life by guiding me from 0 to 70% and that experience lit a fire in me. Now, I get to help other veterans walk that same path, making sure they feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way. There's nothing like the moment when a veteran realizes they're finally getting the recognition and benefits they've earned. That moment makes everything worth it. This work fills my heart and gives my life real purpose.

I started working with veterans because I knew this community wasn’t always well supported, and I wanted to be someone who truly cared and fought alongside them. With deep family ties to the military—my husband, father, great-grandfather, and many of my aunts and uncles all served—I understand the sacrifices veterans make and the challenges they face when seeking the benefits they deserve.

Helping veterans get the recognition and support they’ve earned is a gift in itself. I take a supportive and compassionate approach, knowing how overwhelming this process can be. My goal is to not only be a guiding hand but an encouraging voice, reminding veterans that their fight is worth it.

One of the most meaningful moments in my work was staying on the phone with a veteran who was too nervous to read his decision letter alone. He had gone from 10% to 100%, and as he read the words out loud, we both cried. It wasn’t just about the rating—it was about him finally receiving the recognition he deserved. Moments like that are why I do what I do.

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors with my three kids—hiking, walking, and exploring beaches and creeks. I’m also a smoothie fanatic and love experimenting with new recipes (there was even a time I dreamed of running a smoothie food truck!).

My name is Nick Sinde, and I’m from a small farm town in Illinois. After high school, I enlisted in the Air Force in 2017. During my service, I completed two overseas tours. I recently transitioned out of the Air Force after seven years, which included five surgeries.

Working with WSDV from the start gave me the assurance that I was in the right place. I'm excited to be here and thankful for the opportunity to support my fellow veterans.

My name is Eric Eversole. I am a father, a husband, a veteran, and a coach. Working for WSDV and helping vets doesn't feel like a job, but more like a calling that has given me a meaningful purpose. I fought alone for 16 years as a combat veteran to get my benefits and was repeatedly denied.

I was fortunate enough to stumble across this company in 2023, and they changed my life. This program helped me go from 10% to 100% permanently in just over 90 days. I've been paying it forward ever since. Helping veterans earn their benefits and change their lives is what I live for, and I'm thankful to have the opportunity to do so every day.
