Recently joined and looking for a Mentor in the DC Metro area, or close to.

Veteran

Richard Sheehan Frederick , MD

I am Recently Separated from the Navy and without giving my entire my entire life story and risking the chance of rambling or sounding melodramatic I will try to explain my situation. I am originally from California but staying in Frederick Maryland with my soon to be wife. I have no local family or friends outside of hers. I had plans and goals for myself that are dramatically shifting. We just started our own Business Baking and Selling Dog Treats and I am looking for someone with Entrepreneurial experience that understands what we are going through. Thank you.

Hi Richard,
Happy Veterans Day! My friends Kim and Kevin Gilliam just launched their own dog gym in Alexandria within the past few months and have a ton of entrepreneurial lessons to share. I told them about you and they are expecting your email if you choose to connect with them. You can contact them at frolickdogs@gmail.com. Best of luck!

Richard,

I came across this organization (dog bakery)and thought you may be interested. They have a great program for VETS! I don't know them personally, just kind of stumbled upon it in my research! www.dogtagbakery.org

Richard, I suggest you contact SCORE - a free consulting service under the auspices of the US Sm Bus Adm. They have chapters in the Washington DC area. Go to http://www.score.org/chapters-map, put in your zip code and you'll get a list of closest SCORE chapters and their contact information.

Hi Richard,
I am working in the Richmond, VA area and head up to DC for work frequently. I owned my own small business when I was in college, and would be happy to assist if there is anything that I can do to support you. Also, there is a bakery in the area down here (three dog bakery) with a similar theme. Please feel free to reach out to me, if I can be of assistance.
