Founder Pedro Meneses

Pedro Meneses, a retired Montgomery County Fire Rescue Captain with 20 years of experience, founded this platform as a way to reconnect with his sense of purpose and the brotherhood he cherished. After retiring in 2020, Pedro experienced a profound sense of loss, having dedicated his life to helping others and building lasting friendships in the fire department. Through this journey, he realized the importance of supporting first responders not only in real estate but across all aspects of life.

This platform reflects Pedro’s passion for giving back and staying connected to the brotherhood. He aims to provide a comprehensive, trusted resource that addresses the unique challenges faced by first responders, from Mental Health to Financial Services. By extending this support to all first responders and public servants, Pedro hopes to foster a sense of community and provide a vital lifeline to those who dedicate their lives to serving others.
