Our Story

Built by Veterans.
For Veterans.

After 10 years in the cockpit of U.S. Air Force jet fighters and 30 years in business, founder Tony Hudson saw the same story repeat itself — highly trained veterans landing in jobs that undervalue everything they built in service.

"I wanted to find something viable, impactful, and recession-resistant that could create a direct impact in the lives of veterans and their families. Portable sanitation is that business."

— Tony Hudson, Founder & CEO, USAF Academy Graduate

Hero Johns is the culmination of that search — a franchise model purpose-built around military discipline, operational precision, and the unbreakable bond between those who served together.

Why Hero Johns Exists

America's Veterans Deserve Better.

The transition from military to civilian life is broken. Veterans leave service with world-class training and find a system that doesn't know what to do with them.

43%

Underemployed

Nearly half of all transitioning veterans end up in jobs that dramatically underutilize their military training and leadership experience.

65%

Leave First Civilian Job

Within two years of transition, nearly two-thirds of veterans leave their first civilian employer — often due to poor mission-fit.

25%

of Homeless Are Vets

One in four homeless adults in America have served in the armed forces — an unacceptable outcome for those who sacrificed everything.

1/hr

Veteran Suicides

A veteran takes their own life every hour of every day. Purposeful employment and business ownership are proven protective factors.

1M+

Seeking Work Right Now

Nearly one million U.S. veterans are actively and unsuccessfully searching for meaningful employment at this moment.

National Veteran PRO Franchises

There is no dominant national portable sanitation franchise and no veteran-led brand in a $4B+ industry. Until now.
