Veterans bring leadership, discipline, resilience and a commitment to something bigger than themselves. Those qualities make our teams stronger and reflect the values we work to uphold every day. I’m proud of the veterans who have chosen to build their careers with DaBella, and I’m equally proud of the opportunities we have to give back to military families and the organizations that support them.”

Meet Some of DaBella’s Veterans
Military service leaves a lasting impression. We asked five DaBella employees what inspired them to serve and how their military experiences continue to shape their lives and work today.
Michael Ashton
DaBella General Manager · Springfield, Missouri
U.S. Marine Corps · 2017–2021 · Sergeant
“The discipline, leadership, teamwork and patriotism inspired me to serve. I learned the importance of proper planning, and I use those lessons every day.”
Josh Brown
DaBella District Manager · Redding, California
U.S. Army National Guard · 2007–Present · Sergeant First Class
“I initially joined for the college benefits, but the leadership skills I developed inspired me to continue serving, including in Iraq. I use those leadership skills every day.”
Hailey Hardy
DaBella Customer Service Administrator · Austin, Texas
U.S. Navy · Petty Officer Third Class
“I was inspired to serve because I wanted to help others. One of the most important lessons I learned was respect, which is essential when serving our customers.”
Matthew Strong
DaBella Project Coordinator · Bend, Oregon
U.S. Army · 2011–2016
“Adapt and overcome. Every day, there are new challenges that arise, and this skill has allowed me to be flexible and adaptable,” Strong said. “Veterans Day is a time to reflect and be thankful for the freedoms we have because of those who serve. I served because I had a calling and felt led to stand up for those who couldn’t and would do it again.”
Tyler Udelhoven
DaBella Call Center Manager · Dallas, Texas
U.S. Air Force
“The most valuable skill I learned in the military was emotional maturity. It helps me maintain an even temperament through daily challenges. My advice to anyone transitioning to civilian life is to go at your own pace.”
