BIO

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 his military service in the Army Reserve from 2008 to 2011 with the 535th Military Police Company, where he served as a VA Benefits Liaison.

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

Val holds an Associate’s Degree in Human Services and is licensed in North Carolina as a Certified Veteran Peer Support Specialist. His private-sector experience includes work with Randstad, Audi, and Cornerstone Building Brands, as well as consulting support for records and evidence organization, research, workflow improvement, and veteran-focused administrative processes.

Pathfinder Readiness LLC was established to provide structured, practical support through records readiness, document organization, military transition support, Peer Support, consulting, and administrative services designed to help individuals and organizations become better organized, prepared, and ready for their next step.
