ABout hal Fischer
Veteran. Entrepreneur.
Community Builder.
After nearly 10 years in the U.S. Air Force, including my final assignment as a military recruiter, I went on to build nine different companies and successfully exit four of them over more than 30 years as an entrepreneur.
Through every mission and every milestone, one thing remained true: my greatest opportunities came through relationships in the veteran community.
Today, I’m the founder of The Civvie™, a movement bringing veterans together through events, resources, and real-world connections, all with one mission: Building a Stronger Veteran Community, One Connection at a Time.
The Connected Veteran™ is the battle plan I wish every veteran had when leaving the military.
Praise for The Connected Veteran™
It is a roadmap written by a man who has spent his life proving, one relationship at a time, that the veteran community is still there and that reconnecting with it can completely change the direction of your life.

CEO, Pay It Forward Today
Hal has done more to uplift the veteran community than anyone I know. I’ve personally witnessed him train, inspire, and challenge veterans across the country. This book gives veterans a clear path forward and has my highest recommendation.

Founder & CEO, GovClose
The military forges bonds that endure long after service ends. That network becomes a powerful key to new opportunities after service. Thanks goes to leaders like Hal who create platforms that keep those connections strong.
