WYLY GRAY
FOUNDING DIRECTOR, VETERANS of WAR
Wyly is a United States Marine, public speaker, the Founding Director of Veterans of War, and is deeply committed to changing the existing veteran narrative regarding service, transition, and veteran suicide. Wyly has survived a broken family, foster care, two deployments in support of the War on Terror, and Post Traumatic Stress (PTS).
Through his work with Veterans of War, he experienced firsthand the strength of guided ayahuasca therapy in battles against treatment-resistant trauma, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and PTS. Thanks to ayahuasca, Wyly overcame suicidal thoughts and ideations, finally found sleep again, and cemented his purpose in this life to bring safe and effective tools for recovery for those suffering from the treatment-resistant after-effects of war. Wyly passionately believes that entheogenic plants and fungi offer a unique path towards healing from trauma, and he is part of ballot initiatives advocating for their decriminalization in the United States.
Wyly strongly supports the guided use of entheogens to overcome trauma.

SOCRS119- Tim Colomer- "Creating Successful Visions"
Thursday Apr 02, 2020
Thursday Apr 02, 2020
Tim joined the Marine Corps in 1993 when he was 17. His father was a retired police officer and his mother was a stay at home mom who raised three boys. His first job in the Marine Corps was aviation ordnance; he assembled bombs, missiles, and rockets. By the time he reached Corporal (E-4), he was an instructor at the 'Schoolhouse.' Upon reenlistment, he made the move to join Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD-bomb squad).
The selection process for this job specialty remains rigorous; it is still the only MOS in the Marine Corps that is strictly voluntary, you can quit at any time. EOD school lasts nearly 2 years. Tim was in school when 9/11 occurred waiting on his security clearance to clear. Receiving his clearance, he was assigned to The Marine Corps Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF). While in training there, he was stationed with his younger brother who was also a Marine. His very first mission was to decontaminate Anthrax from a Senator's office, definitely not what he had expected as an EOD specialist.
Mr. Colomer was deployed to Iraq in 2006 to support Multinational Forces West. He was the SNCOIC of a small FOB. They had two EOD teams that responded to any situation around the clock. An average day consisted of 10-15 improvised explosive devices, car bombs, booby trapped buildings, and unexploded ordnance. They destroyed tons of enemy weapons and explosive stashes. Tim states, "We worked our asses off, but it felt good that we were keeping our brothers safe."
On December 11, 2006, Tim was blown up while in route to an enemy weapons stash. It was was one of the most intense days of his life – it changing him, and his team team forever. He left the Marine Corps in 2007 and started his life as a civilian.
As a government contractor, he trained EOD Technicians for almost 7 years. He became a Program Manager for the USMC EOD field and served nearly 2 years at the FBI Explosives United in Quantico, Virginia. When he finished graduate school at the George Washington University, Tim decided to try corporate America. He was recruited to be a Global Explosive Safety Officer for Halliburton Oil. When the oil market crashed, he purchased a franchise that he helped to expand to 8 locations across the US. They had 100 employees, a reality show, and embarked on a heavy Veteran-focused mission only to have his primary investor walk away. This left him to have managerial control over the managers at each location. This experience gave him valuable skill sets which he has taken to the next stage of his life.
Currently, Tim is helping businesses grow by implementing some time-tested business tools, called the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). His company, Colomer Advisories, is helping corporate leaders and their teams find visionary and business success in today's fast-paced, technological business world.

He was awarded a Combat Infantryman’s Badge for his service. Kevin remained in the U.S. Army Reserves, serving in several assignments including the Pentagon that culminated to his ultimate retirement as a Lieutenant Colonel.
In 1981, Kevin was appointed the Administrative Director for Suffolk County’s Industrial Development Agency. In this role, he helped issue more than $500 million Industrial Revenue Bonds to assist hundreds of growing companies. This resulted in the creation and retention of more than 30,000 jobs in the New York county.
“One of the rules that military officers live by is the responsibility to accomplish the mission and take care of your people. At Apollo Sunguard, we take care of our customers. Every product we sell is backed by a team of professionals who care about your total satisfaction.”
– Kevin Connelly
In 1997, Kevin founded Apollo Sunguard, which became one of the country’s leading shade solution providers. Apollo Sunguard is the only Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business shade manufacturer in the United States.
