Reconnect Foundation  ·  Oklahoma City, OK

The People
Behind the Mission.

RECON-nect was built by veterans, aviators, and technologists who have carried the weight of service — and refused to let those who come next carry it alone.

Leadership & Board of Directors

Built by Those
Who Understand.

The Reconnect Foundation is led and guided by people who have lived the mission — from the cockpit of Army aircraft to the boardroom to the front lines of building private, always-available technology. Meet the team.
