About us
My name is Devon Dooley. I was born in Bristol, Tennessee, and raised in Washington County, Virginia, primarily around Abingdon. From a young age, I’ve believed that if you set your mind to something, you can achieve it.
The path to success isn’t easy. It takes discipline, time, continuous learning, and the willingness to fail forward. Every setback is part of the process that shapes us into who we’re meant to become.
That’s why I created Southwest Connect — a community for people across Southwest Virginia who are ready to grow. This is a space where we share our real experiences, stories, struggles, and wins. Whether you’re looking for encouragement, mentorship, honest advice, or simply to connect with others on the same journey, you’ll find support here.
Our mission is simple: lift each other up, learn from one another, and help every member become the best version of themselves — right here in our own backyard.
If you’re ready to grow alongside your neighbors and build something meaningful together, you’re in the right place.
