Leadership Team

John Cacolice

Vice President

Army Veteran, Veteran Business Owner, Entrepreneur, devoted husband, father and American patriot. Being a servant leader is something that John has always focused on. He sees many great opportunities to support Veterans and Veteran Owned Businesses in our community. Unfortunately, while the outpouring of support is impressive, it does tend to be disjointed and starved for resources and/or direction. What better opportunity than to assist fellow Veterans and Patriots in setting up an organization that can focus and rally support to our fine Heroes. 

Veterans tend to have well-earned skill sets, but that does not automatically mean success. No matter if these veterans are new employees, veteran start-up businesses or thriving companies, any amount of focused support can be critical to the mission. Our goal is to connect these military veteran employees and veteran business owners with a veteran support network and intellectual/physical resources available within their community. This is the Houston Regional Veterans Chamber of Commerce!

John is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh School of Engineering, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering. He graduated from the Army ROTC program as well as U.S. Army Airborne School and was commissioned as a Combat Engineer Officer. He served a majority of his time at Ft. Hood with 20thEngineers, 1 BCT, 1st Cavalry Division, also serving short tours with SFOR-4 in Bosnia-Herzegovina and an assignment to Korea for a Foal Eagle Exercise.

  Since leaving the military, John has held several jobs to diversify his experience. John partnered with another Army Veteran to start their own Real Estate Brokerage – The Lakes Group LLC.
