John Cacolice
Director of Business Mission
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.
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!
