The story behind Milnerva

Built by an Army veteran who understands the paperwork.

Good writing matters. So does the time it takes away from your Soldiers, your family, and everything else on your plate.

I started Milnerva because I know firsthand how much time Soldiers spend on writing tasks, and how important it is to get them right. My goal is simple: make that work easier, so you can focus on what matters most.

From the Army to software

A different way to serve.

I served in the Army, with three deployments to Afghanistan. During my service, I earned the Combat Infantry Badge, Expert Infantry Badge, Purple Heart, and more.

After the Army, I transitioned into software engineering as a Full Stack Engineer.

Milnerva brings those experiences together. It gives Soldiers and leaders a starting point for writing, with room to apply their own judgment, experience, and knowledge of their Soldiers.

My Army experience informs the questions, detailed instructions, and writing guidance built into Milnerva’s document assistants. Combined with relevant Army references and tools for working with your documents, that guidance helps you turn the situation you bring into a draft you can review and use.
