Kate McCauley

Veterans

Nov 12, 2025

When Kate joined Wounded Warriors Family Support in September of 2007, it was a modest organization that was able to assist a relatively few combat wounded families. During the next 13 years since she joined as our first employee, she has helped grow our organization to what it is today: a highly respected and highly rated nonprofit organization that now assists hundreds of combat wounded families in all 50 states.

Her leadership was instrumental in enabling Wounded Warriors Family Support to earn an A+ rating with Charity Watch, a 4 Star rating from Charity Navigator and being named in 2019 by Consumer Reports as one of the best veterans charities in the United States.

In her 13 years with Wounded Warriors Family Support, Kate served as a director in programs and administration as well as corporate duties of treasurer and secretary. The multitude of roles and responsibilities over the years has prepared Kate for her newest challenge: that of President.

Kate earned her certificate in Nonprofit Executive Leadership from the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.

On her time off she enjoys spending time with her family (especially her two granddaughters!), kick boxing, jogging, attending soccer games, and going to the gym.

James Wolfe

United States Coast Guard

Nov 19, 2025

James Wolfe serves in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, where he supports public education, marine safety, and community outreach. He is a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard, having served six years during the Vietnam era, where he operated LORAN stations, radio beacons, and lighthouses—critical components of maritime navigation and safety.

With more than two decades as an educator and technology innovator, James has made a lasting impact on both education and industry. In 1984, he led a team at Metro Community College to make ham radio contact with NASA’s STS-9 Space Shuttle mission. That same year, he developed the Laser Clearance Car for Union Pacific Railroad, which was featured in the March 1984 issue of National Geographic.

A runner-up in Nebraska’s Teacher in Space program and a longtime supporter of SkillsUSA, James continues to lead STEM education initiatives involving drone technology, robotics, and career development. His work reflects a deep commitment to innovation, civic service, and empowering the next generation.
