#4 Helping Vets Get into the Tech World - David Molina, Operation Code
David joined the Army for an interesting reason - to get out his small town - but enlistment opened up his world even bigger than he imagined. Enrolled at Oregon State University, he went through ROTC, got his degree, became a captain and had an eight-year career. His fascination with technology and coding led him to a hackathon to learn to code initially. His passion grew into a mission to lend this skill to military veterans as a civilian career after their service career was over. Operation Code connects vets to code schools, helps them with their GI Bill and puts fills the pipeline for employers.\n\nVeteran Founder Podcast with your hosts Josh Carter and Carmen Nazario\n\nWe record the Felony Inc Podcast inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.\n\nAudio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon Beausoleil\n\nShow logo was designed by Carolyn Main\n\nWebsite was designed by Cameron Grimes\n\nProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster\n\nTheme music: Artist: Tipsy Track: Kadonka Album: Buzzz Courtesy of Ipecac Records\n\n10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimes\n\nListen to the Veteran Founder Podcast live on-air every Friday at 1:00pm pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com
