He worked as a counselor with veterans at the VA VET Center in Warwick, RI, from 2009 to 2018. In 2017, he began to ‘speak truth to power’ to have VA VET Center Management revise their clinical productivity policies. His subsequent whistleblowing campaign came at a great price for his overall health. A federal Government Accountability Office (GAO) investigation he helped instigate substantiated his allegations. The United States Congress passed legislation that was signed into law which ensures VA leadership is accountable for protecting the quality of services to our veterans and their families, and counselors. His work on behalf of the VA VET Center program has been featured on NBC and NPR, the Military Times, other publications and local news broadcasts. His book "Broken Promises" chronicles this ordeal.
