Roland Vandenburg is a retired United States Marine with 15 years of service as an Infantryman. His military career includes participation in humanitarian operations in Haiti during Operation Unified Response and combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. He concluded his service as a Station Commander at the Marine Corps Recruiting Station in Los Angeles. After retiring from the military, Roland transitioned to real estate where he identified a significant need to deliver exceptional service to veterans. This led him to co-found Romeo Echo, a real estate company dedicated to serving those who have served.

He is passionate about ending veteran suicide. In 2018, he founded Operation Jump 22, a nonprofit organization focused on preventing veteran suicide through skydiving. Roland’s most recent project is the “Millionaire Child Campaign,” which is aimed at empowering our future generations to thrive in any economy through small, impactful actions.
