Carl Jewett is a retired LCDR in the US Navy and the Executive Director of the Veterans Assistance Network; a company devoted to assisting veterans negotiate the often confusing VA benefits application process. He also serves as the Veteran Liaison for Mesothelioma Center, assisting veteran clients in obtaining the maximum benefits for which they are entitled.

Mr. Jewett was born in Plainfield, NJ and raised in the MD suburbs. In 1984, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy as a submarine sailor. After attending ET "A" School and Nuclear Power School, he served on three nuclear fast-attack submarines. In 1997, he was selected for the Enlisted Commissioning Program and attended the University of Maryland, graduating in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics. He was commissioned in May 1997 and returned to the submarine force serving in various nuclear engineering billets.

Mr. Jewett's previous duty assignments include USS Dace (SSN-607), Groton, CT; USS Plunger (SSN-595), San Diego, CA; USS Shark (SSN-591) Vallejo, CA and USS Kentucky (SSBN-737), Kings Bay, GA. Previous shore assignments include Instructor, Nuclear Power School, Orlando, FL and Division Officer, Prospective Nuclear Engineer Officer School, Kings Bay, GA.

Mr. Jewett earned his Masters of Arts degree in Business Administration from the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL in 2004.

After almost 24 years of active duty service in the US Navy, Mr. Jewett retired from active duty and began the process of applying for his disability benefits. He found the process to be so confusing, he set forth on a mission to educate himself as much as possible about the VA and how they process disability claims. From this endeavor, was born the idea for an organization dedicated to educating veterans and assisting them in finding the right kind of help to apply for VA benefits. This quickly led to the formation of the Veterans Assistance Network. The Veterans Assistance Network employs only veteran volunteers trained to guide veterans through the often dizzying process of applying for the benefits they rightly deserve.
