610 hours.
That is how many hours of mentorship we have tracked for David Trenholm on MilMentor!
So, naming him our Mentor of the Month is a pretty easy decision!
David has spent hundreds of hours helping members of the military community figure out what comes next.
He has helped people explore careers in banking, business operations, risk, and quality assurance, understand how their military and civilian experience translates, prepare to stand out in the hiring process, make strong career plans, and more.
And the feedback from his mentees says everything:
“David is extremely thorough and provides the guidance and resources needed to confidently move forward with your post-military career. He connects you with the right people, who are genuinely willing to share their knowledge and support you throughout your transition.”
“David has been an outstanding mentor and an incredible resource for military families. He is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely committed to helping others navigate their career journeys.”
“Our conversation helped me better understand how my military, project coordination, energy consulting, and process-improvement experience could translate into business operations and business controls roles.”
David does not just offer general encouragement. He listens, gives honest and practical advice, helps people make sense of their experience, and points them toward clear next steps.
David, thank you for showing up again and again for this community.
610 hours is absolutely incredible, and we are incredibly lucky to have you as part of MilMentor.
Let's give David a huge MilMentor round of applause 👏
