💪 Resilience in Action! In our Q3 newsletter, released just a few weeks ago, our CEO Patrick Palmer shared a powerful reflection on resilience — how it shapes us as individuals, strengthens our teams, and drives us forward as a company.
This year has tested our industry in countless ways. Through uncertainty and noise, our team stayed focused, professional, and mission-driven.
One story that captures this spirit is that of Warrick Dunn — a former NFL player who overcame personal tragedy to raise his siblings, excel in school and sports, and later build over 230 homes for single-parent families through his foundation.
His journey reminds us that resilience isn’t just about bouncing back — it’s about pushing forward with purpose.

🎖️ Why We Hire Veterans
Veterans bring more than experience—they bring mission focus, adaptability, and leadership that elevate every team they join.
At our company, over 30% of our workforce has served in the military—and their impact is felt in every department, every day.
This Veterans Day, we honor their service—and celebrate the strength they bring to our mission.
Thank you for your service. And thank you for continuing to lead.

Can you guess !? ✨✨ A few of our team members are at a local Leadership conference, networking, learning and exchanging ideas to bring back home with them!
We will share more on the conference takeaways next week but for now — any idea where the conference location is!? No cheating by looking up the conference name! Or alternatively, drop us a comment and share your favorite local (or not so local) conference that is a must-attend every year! 🤗
We have a theme this week of giving back to veterans and our community!❤️While some of our team members attended the Wounded Warrior 5K on October 25th, our team back in Virginia laced up their boots 🥾 and took on the Wicked Warrior Ruck — a powerful event that combined physical challenge 💪 with purpose. With weighted rucksacks 🎒 on their backs, they hiked through the beautiful trails of the Appalachian Trail 🌲 and the inspiring grounds of Boulder Crest in Bluemont, VA.
Boulder Crest Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of veterans, first responders, and their families through Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) programs 🌟. Their mission is to ensure our nation’s heroes can live great lives after service — and we’re proud to support that mission 🙌.
Swipe through the photos 📸 to see our team in action, and if you’re inspired, we encourage you to learn more, get involved, or donate at bouldercrest.org 💙.
