Our Team
Eric Sepesy
Eric Sepesy is Founder and President at Veterans First. He, along with Navy veteran, John Mozdzien, opened Veterans First in 2019. Eric has over 10 years of experience in the healthcare field, along with prior positions as Director and Territory Manager at other health care facilities. Eric also owns a home care agency that operates out of Southwestern Pennsylvania and has provided over 500,000 hours of care to the elderly and disabled community.
Eric started Veterans First with John Mozdzien, with the goal to serve those who have served before us. He wanted this company to partner with other Home Care Agencies and act as a network to help as many veterans and surviving spouses within Western Pennsylvania. His goal is to make sure those individuals can live comfortably in their own home, and be cared for by the best home care agencies in our area.
Eric enjoys traveling with his family, camping on weekends, and spending time with his wife and 2 year old child.
John Mozdzien
Eric Sepesy and John Mozdzien have worked together for several years before joining hands to form Veterans First. Empowering a team so that veterans and their surviving spouse have the knowledge they need to remain independent in their own home provides him with enormous gratification. John will go above and beyond to help his fellow veterans and to make sure a surviving spouse is well taken care of. He always puts others first and will help in any circumstance. John served in the United States Navy onboard the USS Harry Truman, a nuclear aircraft carrier where he was launching aircraft. John also conducted two tours in Iraq between 1999-2003. Serving veterans and their families remains very personal to John.
When he is not working, you can find John on the softball field coaching and enjoying time traveling with his wife and three children.

Katy has over 10 years experience in the client services field and is very knowledgeable and versed in regards to the Veterans Administration and Aid and Attendance benefit.
