Harrison Bernstein is not a Veteran himself. His “for purpose” organization is different from any of the Veteran owned businesses we’ve spotlighted in the past. Yet as a civilian and former NFL coach turned Founder and CEO of Soldiers to Sidelines, he is a leader who is making a tremendous impact for our nation’s Veterans.


Soldiers to Sidelines empowers Veterans to achieve all 5 components of Military Thriving, while significantly impacting propensity to serve amongst the next generation of Americans. STS is equipping Veterans with the tools they need to become exemplary coaches and role models for today’s impressionable youth. As a partner of ZeroMils, STS is helping change the narrative, providing service members and Veterans with opportunities to pursue their passion for service and find purpose.

Together we are making the journey for aspiring Veteran and Military Spouse entrepreneurs to own and grow a small business—seamless and inevitable. We want our history to be every Veteran and Military Spouse small business owner’s future.

We can help you discover whether owning a small business is right for you.

About Us

ZeroMils is a term of both science and art, used in the military to describe a state of perfection that accounts for accuracy and effectiveness. Once attained, ZeroMils allows  you to achieve maximum impact on a target.

Our mission as social impact consultants to corporations and nonprofit organizations is to create Military Thriving cultures and communities. Our vision is to use our experiences to make our history every Veteran’s and Military Spouse’s future—with a focus on small business owners like us.

We are intentional in our efforts to serve alongside organizations and leaders who focus on what we know to be true:  that although Veterans and their families face unique challenges, the vast majority of us overcome them and thrive as a result of our service and not in spite of it.
