Learn about franchising from Tommy Jones, the Director of Veteran Services at Neighborly and a retired U.S. Army First Sergeant with over 20 years of military service and more than a decade of corporate leadership. He leads Neighborly’s efforts to build a Military Thriving® culture by empowering veterans, military spouses, and transitioning service members through purpose-driven careers and franchise ownership.

Previously, Tommy spearheaded nationally recognized veteran hiring programs at Walmart and Verizon, earning top Military Friendly® rankings. A highly decorated combat veteran with multiple Bronze Stars and over 36 months deployed, he now works across business, nonprofit, and franchise networks to align service-driven values with strategic outcomes.
