BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Gregory Richardson
Founder | Board of Directors
Gregory Richardson, a 10-year Marine Corps veteran and founder of Veteran Bridge, is driven by an unwavering dedication to ensuring that fellow veterans receive the support they need to achieve the American dream—one they bravely defended so that all could have the opportunity to pursue it.
After returning home, Gregory saw firsthand how challenging the transition to civilian life could be, especially when it came to finding and keeping a safe, affordable home. He realized that many veterans, despite their service, were struggling in silence—navigating confusing housing processes, facing financial hardship, and lacking the resources to build stability.
That realization became a mission. Veteran Bridge was founded to offer the very tools Gregory wished he had: guidance, down payment assistance, education, and support to help veterans not only buy homes—but keep them for the long haul.
