Geoffrey Millard is an Iraq veteran who has served for 9 years in the US military.  He holds a B.A. in American Studies from SUNY Buffalo where he also taught American Pluralism.  Growing up in Buffalo, Geoff saw poverty, addiction, abuse, and homelessness firsthand, escaping this life when he entered the military at 17 years old.

Since his return from Iraq, Geoff has worked on veterans’ care by being involved with Iraq Veterans Against the War and helping to start a veterans peer support group that is now functioning across the country.  As Director of the newly created Homeless Veterans Initiative, Geoff sees the potential to help all veterans by making sure that none of his comrades in arms will be living on the streets of the nation’s capital.

In his free time Geoff enjoys speaking about veterans' care and playing with his rescued beagle Resistance.
