This prestigious recognition emphasizes the company’s deep-rooted commitment to supporting community initiatives and honors its rich heritage of leadership shaped by veterans.
Leadership Background and Vision
Will Whitney, the President and CEO of BMI, brings a wealth of experience with him. A distinguished graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Will served as an officer in the Marine Corps where he earned the rank of Captain after two deployments, culminating in an honorable discharge in 2013. Reflecting on BMI’s VOSB status, he remarked, "Our certification is exciting news for BMI. Although we are recognized as 'official' now, our veteran-owned legacy began long before that, thanks to my grandfather, a World War II veteran who founded this company. It is a privilege to continue his legacy of dedication and service."
