Veterans in Gaming is now established.
Getting this off the ground while running Chalkline hasn’t been easy… but anything worth while never is!
OUR MISSION
To connect, support, and foster the professional development and success of veterans in the gaming industry - and have fun while we do it.
OUR VISION
To become the connective tissue for veterans across the international gaming industry: casinos, tribal gaming, sports betting, iGaming, technology, media, and suppliers.

We have been holding events at G2E for years (Happy Hours and Fun Runs)
This spring and summer we expanded and starting holding Wellness Events at every conference that I attended:
April 2026: Indian Gaming Assoc Expo Wellness Event. Epic. Can’t say enough about this event except I’m grateful to Chairman Bean and the conference.
June 2026: Class 2 Gathering at Prairie Band Casino. Our first 4 digit donation! Gotta start somewhere and thank you Prairie Band Casino!
June 2026: Washington Indian Gaming Association held their NW Gaming Expo and promoted our ViG Wellness Event. Thank you!
July 2026: Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association Conference were extra special to ViG. They gave us a meeting room, a education session to share ViG, promotion of our Wellness Event and a meeting room. It was more support that I ever expected. Thank you!
I have interacted with so many Veterans in our industry that have the most amazing stories that need sharing.
Some about their service, some about Gaming, some just about life. All of them have all inspired me keep building ViG and get the word out!
Now I need your help!
Share your story with the community. They want to hear it, even if it makes you feel uncomfortable sharing it.
Read the interview questions. I would love you to fill it in
