New Haven Biz: Former Marine Seeks to Help Veterans with New JDog Franchise in Stratford

Out of a desire to serve his fellow Veterans, former Marine and current entrepreneur Sean Michael Green decided to expand beyond his concurrent careers in academia as a professor and CEO of Honor Platoon Logistics by electing to open a new JDog Junk Removal and Hauling location in Stratford, Connecticut.

In an interview with New Haven Biz, Green discusses what appealed to him about JDog and his motivation behind opening his location: the focus on Veterans and Veteran employment. Beyond the benefit of helping his fellow service members was the knowledge that they were providing a service to others as well.

Green stated, “[the second thing] that appealed to me was that it's a very elegant business — people are paying us to remove items from their life, things that they can't use anymore. But somebody else would really want the items we're taking away.”

Green has also joined forces with Homes for the Brave, a local nonprofit with the mission of assisting Veterans currently experiencing homelessness.
