Hey there!
My name is Benjamin, and I am honored to be the Regional Captain for PBAbbate: Southern Virginia! I am from Abingdon, Virginia, and aim to serve and connect military members IVO Southwest Virginia, Northeastern Tennessee, and Eastern Kentucky with regional events such as equestrian connection, fishing, BBQ, hiking, and camping.
I served in the United States Marine Corps from 2016-2021 as a 2841/Communications Technician, and gladly served with 1st Maintenance Battalion, SPMAGTF CR-CC 19.1 CE, and 1st Reconnaissance Battalion.
When I separated, I felt lost and disconnected. When I learned about PBA and the mission they have established, I knew I had to bring it to central Appalachia. PBA:SOVA is a tribe where you can come as you are and return to your warrior spirit.
I am always available for questions, comments, concerns, or a listening ear at pbabbatesova@gmail.com
I look forward to connecting with you.
