About Us

Military service brings unique challenges — deployments, relocations, and sacrifice. Reward Our Heroes™ was created to ensure service members and veterans secure every homeownership benefit they’ve earned.
As an Air Force veteran who has lived the same life, I know the stress military families face. From moving across the country to balancing service with family, you deserve someone who understands when it’s time to build stability at home.
Reward Our Heroes™ is Wisconsin-based and veteran-owned, built to honor that commitment. From VA loan expertise to commission rebates, scholarships, and housing grants, we make sure military families maximize every benefit they’ve earned.
Whether active duty, Guard, Reserve, or veteran, you’ve served our country. At Reward Our Heroes™, our mission is simple: to serve you — with savings, resources, and lifetime support tailored to your needs.
