Hello. My name is Jeff Bowman and I will be the Project Leader for the brand new Veteran Fire Corps Program. I call Baltimore, MD my home. I have worked with the SCA for the past three years leading crews of high school students completing urban conservation projects in Baltimore City. My crews have removed invasive plants species, completed various trail maintence and just recently built a fifty foot boardwalk. I served in the Marine Corps for four years completing three deployments, one in Afghanistan and two in Iraq. After I left the Marines I started taking classes at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County towards a degree in Biology. I love the outdoors and working with urban youth. I am very excited for the oppurtunity to work with fellow veterans once again and learn as much as possible.
