Dennis has a long history of service beginning in 1977 when he joined the U.S. Navy to serve his country.

Following the loss of his wife, Dennis became a Veteran Service Officer in order to help fellow veterans and their families navigate the maze of forms and procedures necessary to get good healthcare. In 2019 he was inducted into the Arizona Veterans Hall of Fame for his relentless work in both the veteran and the civilian communities. Dennis continues to help seniors and their families obtain the best possible care, often in difficult circumstances.
