Christopher Austin is a Marine Corps veteran and the founder of Crew Served, Inc. With over 16 years of experience as a mortgage loan officer, he has helped hundreds of veterans and their families navigate the path to homeownership—especially through VA loans. His passion for service didn’t end with his time in uniform; it simply evolved.
Driven by a desire to give back to the veteran community in a bigger way, Christopher launched Crew Served, Inc. to invest in organizations that serve those who’ve served. From fundraising campaigns to hands-on support, his mission is to make sure no veteran feels forgotten or left behind.
When he’s not working with veteran-focused nonprofits or planning the annual Swings for Service charity golf tournament, you can find him cracking a joke, leading with heart, and reminding everyone that service doesn’t stop—it just changes uniform.
