Veteran Staff Sergeant Doug Quitmeyer is co-founder and CEO at YOUR6 out of Austin, TX.
Mr. Quitmeyer was a member of U.S. Special Operations, where he was a sniper team leader, squad leader, as well as a liaison instructor to other military units. While in his instructor role, he was responsible for developing, auditing and updating training curriculum, as well as training in tactics, techniques and procedures in a Land Warfare environment. Mr. Quitmeyer executed multiple deployments in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.
Following his discharge, Mr. Quitmeyer became an instructor in firearms tactics for police officers and military units. Eventually, he presented his resume to a state workforce commission, which recommended positions as an exterminator or security guard based on his military skills, a verdict that left Quitmeyer disenchanted and disheartened with how Veterans are perceived in the civilian workplace.
His experience left a burning desire to change how people—especially Veterans—are hired. As a natural teacher and coach, YOUR6 provides Mr. Quitmeyer an outlet to change people’s awareness of their own capabilities and potential, a trait born during his military career and which extends into his work as a civilian.
Quitmeyer has a bachelor’s degree from St. Edward’s University in Interdisciplinary Studies, with a focus on business management and communication.
