Val Ayers  

Army Veteran | Founder, Pathfinder Readiness LLC

Val Ayers served on Active Duty in the United States Army from 2004 to 2008 at Fort Drum, New York, with the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, including deployments to Afghanistan and Kuwait. He continued service in the Army Reserve from 2008 to 2011 with the 535th Military Police Company, where he supported his unit as a VA Benefits Liaison.

After military service, Val worked within the Durham Veterans Health Administration across multiple programs, including OEF/OIF support, Suicide Prevention, MIRECC research, Benefits and Enrollment, Mental Health, and Traumatic Brain Injury coordination. This experience provided firsthand insight into the importance of accurate records, organized documentation, administrative follow-through, and clear service boundaries.

Val holds an Associate’s Degree in Human Services and is licensed in North Carolina as a Certified Veteran Peer Support Specialist.

In the private sector, Val has worked with organizations including Randstad, Audi, and Cornerstone Building Brands. He has also provided consulting support connected to medical evidence organization, research, AI-assisted content review, workflow improvement, and veteran-focused administrative processes.

Pathfinder Readiness LLC was formed to provide structured support in administrative records readiness, document organization, personal-use materials, military transition support, consulting, and non-clinical peer support services.

PRLLC’s work is grounded in lived military experience, administrative discipline, records organization, and practical follow-through.
