Ross Berkoff served on active duty as an Armor and Military Intelligence officer from 2002 to 2009. After his time in the 10th Mountain Division, Ross served in the District of Columbia Army National Guard before transitioning to the private sector in 2007 to begin a second career as an industry leader in the government contracting defense and intelligence communities. Ross’s two combat deployments earned him two Bronze Stars, two Army Commendation Medals, and two Afghanistan Campaign Ribbons. He’s most proud of 3-71 Cavalry’s Meritorious Unit Commendation for waging “highly successful counterinsurgency operations against determined opponents in the most austere and rugged conditions in the world.” Ross and his wife Rebekah reside in Chantilly, Virginia, where they are raising two incredible children, Eliana and Aaron.
