Wiedower is a decorated veteran who spent 22 years in the United States Marine Corps, where he retired as a Commanding Officer.
"Combined Insurance has been recognized as a top Military Friendly® employer by the publisher's G.I. Jobs magazine for the past six years, which we are very proud of. We are equally proud to support our military while they are serving our country, and providing career opportunities for military spouses is just one way we do this."
