Hello

Greetings! I am Dr. Scott Rose-Smith. I am a service-disabled 20-year Air Force Veteran, a Social Psychologist, and a former VA Benefits Advisor Site Lead, Senior Quality Assurance Specialist, and Senior Program Analyst who supported the creation and management of the congressionally mandated VA Benefits and Services course. My expertise lies in mentoring Veterans, Service members, and their family members in maximizing their earned VA and military benefits and services. Think of me as your master facilitator in better understanding what your benefits are, how to find and maximize them, and how to advocate for yourself and your family.

The RYZUP Consulting Story

What is the Concept of RYZUP?

In 1991, while serving in the United States Air Force at Langley AFB in Hampton, Virginia, the RYZUP acronym was created to inspire personal growth and achievement. RYZUP stands for Reach Your Zenith Utilizing Potential — a philosophy centered on striving for your highest level of success.

Over time, the meaning of the “P” has evolved to represent the essential drivers of success: Potential, Persistence, Prayer, Power, and Positivity. These principles form the foundation of a mission dedicated to helping Service Members, Veterans, and their families navigate and fully utilize the benefits they have earned through their service.

Through RYZUP benefits mentoring, you gain knowledge, guidance, and advocacy tools designed to help you:

Maximize your earned military and veteran benefits
Advocate effectively for yourself and your family
Understand eligibility requirements and available resources
Make informed decisions as a confident and empowered consumer
Develop a success mindset grounded in proven RYZUP principles

When a Service member attends their required VA Benefits and Services course, there is an overwhelming amount of information covered. Far too often, they have competing work requirements and cannot retain all of the information covered in the course. That's where I come in!

Veterans: As an Air Force Veteran, I attended the same course and faced the same competing duty requirements. I have expertly taught and supervised others who facilitated the VA Benefits and Service course, and I have the expertise and passion to help you maximize your earned benefits.

Service members: Have you found yourself wondering how you can make the most of your time on Active duty?

You served with dedication and sacrifice. You deserve to fully understand and access the benefits available to you.
