Meet & Greet: Jeremy Fusco, Chief Executive Officer/Co-founder
As mystical as a campfire legend and as tenacious as a honey badger, Fusco is determined to advocate and support those in need, regardless of the challenges.
Fusco was born in Arlington, Texas where he spent most of his formative years as a devotee to punk rock, playing drums, movies, and camping.
Fusco found himself graduating high school, obtaining the rank of Eagle Scout, and entering Basic Military Training for the U.S. Air Force within the same week. At almost 12 years in service, he was medically retired from the Air Force and found himself having to come to terms with loss of identity and changes to future plans. Determined to continue service to others, Fusco pursued Social Work through the University of Southern California where he obtained his Master’s in Social Work with Concentration in Mental Health and Military/Veterans Services.
His focus in Social Work is clinical services providing mental health counseling and innovative solutions. Currently, Fusco works as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a private practice where he provides individual, couples and group counseling. As a psychotherapist, he specializes in PTSD, Trauma, Depression, and Anxiety.
He has provided Crisis Response in downtown Dallas, Texas after the July 7, 2016 shootings as well as response to Hurricane Harvey victims in/around Crosby, Texas and Hurricane Michael in/around Panama City and Mexico Beach, Florida. Continuing his love to advocate, Fusco provides clinical services to Veterans who are involved in Veterans Treatment Courts programs as well as jailed. Fusco is an ally to the LGBT Community and has worked to establish awareness and services for LGBT Veterans.
Fusco serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Set|Ready with a dynamic group of leaders that join forces to deliver “the how-to from those who do.” Fusco is a proponent of perpetual learning and exploration across the lifespan. He brings a penchant for public speaking, a panache for networking, and razzmatazz in the ideas and vision department. He loves the outdoors, BBQ, history, building furniture, and turning wrenches on things.
