 My name is Emily Nunez-Capness and I served in the U.S. Army as a military intelligence officer. And just before I began my active duty service in 2012, I thought of an idea with my sister to repurpose military surplus material into fashionable bags and accessories that would be made by veteran owned American manufacturers. And so we began working on that when I was still in ROTC cadet. We knew we had to pursue the idea because we cared so much about it. We cared so much about bridging the civil military divide and empowering veteran employment and supporting veterans in every stage of this idea that we had. I reported to Fort Carson and then about a week into that I received a phone call from the division headquarters and I'd be deploying to Afghanistan in three months. At that moment we discussed, well should we move it up? Should we wait until you're back? Everyone had been working so hard that we knew the best time was now and so we moved the Kickstarter date up and put our best foot forward and never thought that it would be as successful as it was. I got out of the Army in 2017 as a captain and since then I've been working full time on the company now to be able to work full time with my sister and to be able to share ideas face to face and brainstorm that way with our team. It's just been such an incredible journey and I'm just so thankful that I have this opportunity to lead this business with my sister and I'm incredibly grateful for my military service because the leadership lessons I learned while serving have applied 100%.
