Amy O’Banion
Chief Operating Officer
Amy brings a distinctive background shaped by her Texas roots and a life lived with purpose. After marrying her high school sweetheart, Amy spent the next 16 years navigating military life during her husband's Navy career — serving as a devoted stay-at-home mom to their two daughters while also stepping up as a family ombudsman, advocating for military families and sharpening the organizational instincts, adaptability, and people skills that have defined her career ever since.
