Co-Founder

Christopher Lorenz is a co-founder of Beyond the Uniform and its Executive Director of Education Services. He served 11 years on active duty in the U.S. Navy as a Master-at-Arms in small boat operations, and earned the Expeditionary Warfare / Small Craft insignia. He brings the discipline, security mindset and operational leadership of that career to BTU, where he leads education for veterans, service members and their families on wealth operations and financial services: Educate, Elevate, Operate.

“I wore the uniform for 11 years, so I know the sacrifice behind it. Those who served deserve real access to wealth-building, not table scraps. Beyond the Uniform turns that belief into a platform, and I'm all in.”

Co-Founder

Trever Ahing is a co-founder of Beyond the Uniform and its President of Capital Relations and BTU Builders Club. He served 8 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, rising to Staff Sergeant through multiple meritorious promotions, with deployments and service across 16 countries. Since leaving the Corps he has completed and consulted on 300+ real estate deals and founded multiple companies built around wealth building through real estate. At BTU he connects those who served with the people and opportunities that make wealth real: Educate, Elevate, Operate.

“Everyone makes wealth building feel out of reach. It isn't. It comes down to being around the right people and the right opportunities, and that's what BTU was built for. We gave our all to our country and our professions. When we get out, we're more than that service.”
