Our Founder’s Story

MyVetBENEFITS is built on the strongly held belief that it’s the “military family” that takes care of our own, ingrained into our founder over 5 years while leading the fight to change U.S. Public Law to provide equal survivor benefits for Guard and Reserve families who lost loved ones in the line of duty.

Todd Ernst

Founder and CEO | Air Force Veteran

Todd Ernst retired from the Air Force after more than twenty-two years flying the T-38, B-1, and U-2, including missions during Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom.
