The PHHUSA team remains poised for growth and passionate to serve our veterans.” said John Gallina, CEO of PHHUSA.
Mr. Eadie is the VP of Business Development for Claris Construction, a design-build contractor in Charlotte, NC. He enlisted in the Army as a Combat Engineer and served in the 25th ID before gaining admission to the United States Military Academy where he earned a commission as an infantry officer.

He also serves as the President of the West Point Society of Columbia.
Ms. Schweizer moved from New York City to Charlotte in 2013 and before moving she worked on Wall Street for many years. Victoria has accomplished many things in her life but one thing that is constant is that she has been painting for many years and does so in many different mediums and styles. She opened Vane Gallery in Southend, Charlotte in 2016 and encourages up and coming artists of all ages to display their artwork alongside her own. Her broad and powerful life experiences have directly resulted in her passion for philanthropy. Her dedication to this country and our veterans is something near and dear to her heart after witnessing the events of 9/11 and the personal loss of loved ones, from only a couple of blocks away. As she continues her mission to paint for charity auctions worldwide, she brings her ongoing dedication to serve veterans to PHHUSA.
PHHUSA has two programs: Veterans Aging in Place and The Veterans Home Ownership Program. From building a ramp to providing home ownership opportunities to veterans with physical as well as invisible injuries, PHHUSA’s programs are designed to fit the specific needs of veterans of all ages and from all eras. Please join PHHUSA and its partners in thinking about the value that a safe and accessible home brings to our Veterans, who have sacrificed so much for each of us.
