Who we are

Task Force 22:00 is a mission-driven community dedicated to reducing Veteran suicide and improving the lives of those who’ve served. Named in recognition of the staggering statistic—22 Veteran suicides per day—we're here to change that number. One life at a time.

WHAT WE DO

We support Veterans and their families as they navigate life after military service, focusing on four key pillars: mental health, well-being, financial stability, and social connection. Through peer support, mentorship, and resource navigation, we empower Veterans to thrive in their next chapter.

how we do it

We’re building a network—Veterans helping Veterans, backed by mentors, mental health professionals, and mission-driven volunteers. Together, we create a support system that’s grounded in understanding, respect, and action.

Meet the Team

  • Army Veteran | Veteran Advocate | Nonprofit Leader

    Miguel is a proud U.S. Army Veteran and former member of the elite Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) community. He served three combat deployments as an Infantryman—twice with the 3rd Ranger Battalion and once with the 82nd Airborne Division. He is a graduate of the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP), formerly known as the Ranger Indoctrination Program (RIP), as well as the Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course (RSLC). Miguel brings with him a deep foundation of discipline, leadership, and commitment to service.

    While on active duty, Miguel earned his Bachelor's degree and later completed a Master's in Public Administration after transitioning out of the military. He went on to work as a state employee, where he supported and managed grant-funded programs, gaining valuable experience in navigating funding requirements, program evaluation, and compliance.

    Miguel is deeply committed to addressing the veteran suicide crisis, where an average of 22 veterans take their lives each day. He believes that the only way to shift this number is from within the veteran community itself. A movement is underway—and Task Force 22:00 was created to give veterans another formation. The training doesn’t stop because your service has ended; the only thing that’s changed is the training ground.

    Through Task Force 22:00, Miguel leads efforts to build connection, purpose, and resilience among those who’ve served—ensuring that no one is left behind.


  • Army Veteran | Business Operations Director

    Kristin is a U.S. Army veteran who served for seven years as a 15P Flight Operations Specialist. During her service, she was deployed twice overseas—once in support of NATO’s peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, and later during Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom. In both deployments, she played a key role in aviation operations and supported tactical command centers.

    While serving in the California Army National Guard, Kristin worked closely with local, state, and federal agencies—including the DEA, CAL FIRE, and search and rescue teams—on a wide range of missions, from counter-drug operations to wildfire response and locating missing persons. She supported vital air missions such as transporting troops and supplies, conducting MEDEVAC operations, and providing aerial reconnaissance for intelligence and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) teams.

    Kristin earned her B.S. in Business Administration while serving in the military. A lifelong technologist with a passion for IT since childhood, she has consistently used technology as a cornerstone of her professional growth. Balancing both military and civilian careers, she has built a strong presence in the private sector. Most recently, she established a data and analytics department at a prominent organization and was nominated as president of an employee resource group, where she led initiatives focused on professional development, mentorship, and company-wide networking.

    Now, Kristin is focused on continuing her service—this time to the veteran community. With a background in data, analytics, AI, operations, and advocacy, she is committed to empowering veterans, helping translate military experience into civilian success, and improving the support systems they rely on—until the number is zero.
