About Us
Our Namesake
Everett Alvarez Jr.
We are named after Salinas, California, native and national hero Everett Alvarez, Jr. Born December 23rd, 1937, Everett Alvarez began serving our country as an aviator for the United States Navy. He was subsequently shot down during the Vietnam War. He was captured by the enemy and held as a prisoner of war (POW) for over eight and a half years – making him the second longest-held American POW. After his liberation, Alvarez continued to serve our country with distinction in various government roles proudly. He is the recipient of the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, two Purple Hearts, two Legions of Merit, and the Distinguished Flying Cross. After his work with the government, Everett Alvarez has owned and run two successful IT and consultancy businesses. When asked about how his experiences helped shape his activities after the war, he replied, “I came out of the prisoner of war camp after eight and a half years wanting to catch up. My whole life since then has been pursuing those dreams that I thought about as I was sitting in those cells. I’ve never looked back, always looked forward.”
