Beth was a “typical civilian” before discovering milblogs in 2004. After milblogger Chuck Z was wounded in 2005, she co-founded Project Valour-IT with the support of the milblog community. Valour-IT has since distributed over 2,700 adaptive laptops for the wounded, and under Beth’s leadership, bloggers unite each Veterans Day in a friendly fundraising competition.

Beth received a 2006 Milbloggie for Fuzzilicious Thinking, and a 2007 Deutsche Welle Best of the Blogs jury award for using the Valour-IT project blog to coordinate and fundraise. She also writes for the respected Castle Argghhh! milblog, and telecommutes from her patio as Assistant to the President of Internet-based troop support non-profit Soldiers’ Angels.
