After a service-connected injury left me fighting alone through the VR&E maze, I built DisabledVeterans.org and later Krause Law to share what I learned. The profitable venture has helped veterans secure millions in benefits, tuition, and support in Chapter 31 VR&E funding for graduate degrees and small-business startups—proving hardship can fuel scalable impact.
