My Colleagues

Jeremy Christner
Vice President
My name is Jeremy and I am blessed to have the opportunity to serve those who have served our country. With years of experience in sales and marketing throughout various industries, there is nothing more fulfilling than giving back to the men and women who put their lives on the line for our freedoms.
My goal with our cause and our approach is to not only “Change 1 Hero’s Life at a Time,” but to raise awareness that, if we all take a moment in our busy lives to help a veteran when we are presented the chance, real changes can be made. God bless all of our veterans and all those who support our mission.

Noah Neuerburg
Brand Ambassador
My name is Noah Neuerburg and I am a life-long resident of Edwardsburg, MI. I am a proud veteran of the United States Marine Corps Infantry. I served as a Mortarman (Corporal (E4), MOS 0341) with 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, stationed at MCAGCC Twentynine Palms, California. Some of my greatest memories come from various deserts—training on advanced weapon systems, honing my craft, and building unbreakable bonds with my fellow Marines in pursuit of a shared mission.
Today, I continue to carry that same dedication and fighting spirit as a Brand Ambassador for Op1Vet. In this role, I’m honored to help extend the Marine Corps legacy of service, resilience, and camaraderie by giving back to our brothers and sisters in arms—those who have sacrificed so much for our nation.

Timothy Jones
Brand Ambassador
I was in Marine Corps from 2022 to 2025. My MOS was Field Artillery Cannoneer. I enjoyed making things go boom and training with the South Korean Recon Marines, and doing some ops with them.
I now reside in Goshen.
My favorite things about what we do here at Op1vet, is giving back to our brother and sisters in arms and changing people’s life’s.
