CARLOS, Marine Corps Veteran

RICHARD, Army Manager, HR Service Center
From the Army to The Home Depot meet, Richard made his transition to the civilian workforce while leveraging his military experience in problem-solving and teamwork to support our associates at The Home Depot.

PETE, Marine Corps VP, Field Merchandising
Pete started his career at The Home Depot as a store sales associate in the electrical department. Since then, he has held positions of increasing responsibility during his 30-year career.
