Geoffrey Millard is an Iraq veteran who served for 9 years in the US military.  He grew up in Buffalo, NY where he was exposed to poverty, addiction, abuse and homelessness firsthand.  With a strong work ethic and some help along the way, Geoff overcame these barriers to get to where he is today.  He now holds an A.A.S. in Business and a B.A. in American Studies from SUNY Buffalo where he also taught courses on American Pluralism.  

After returning from Iraq, Geoff began working on veterans’ care through Iraq Veterans Against the War, and by helping to start a veterans peer support group.  As Director of the Homeless Veterans Initiative (HVI) at Friendship Place, he 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.   

He is an experienced public speaker and author. Geoff often says change can happen when we have good policy, proper funding, and hard work.
