Derek Aultman

After leaving active duty he began a career in sales providing data storage solutions. In 2008, Derek realized that there were many gaps in supporting customers throughout the solution life cycles and started his own company, Veteran Data Solutions, L.L.C. “VetDS”, to address those gaps and provide highly reliable and accountable services to his customers.

She took a leap of faith and helped start VetDS in 2008. Michelle now enjoys supporting a wide range of customers, from Intelligence units to Casinos, helping design, implement and sustain data center infrastructure.

Careers

You often hear the words “career” and “job” used interchangeably, but they are two different things. A job is something you do to in the short term to earn cash. It’s filling a work role within a business in exchange for money. A career, though, is a long-term pursuit of a lifelong ambition. Are you ambitious?
