About Guardian Veterans
Our Mission
Guardian Veterans LLC is a veteran-owned Non Emergency transportation company dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate medical transportation for seniors and patients throughout the West Valley. We understand that dependable transportation is not just a convenience — it's a vital link in the continuum of care.
As veterans, we bring the same commitment to service, punctuality, and professionalism that defined our military careers. We're here to ensure every patient arrives safely, on time, and with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Veteran-Owned, Community-Focused
Guardian Veterans LLC was founded by veterans who understand the value of reliability, punctuality, and mission-focused service. While we specialize in serving our fellow veterans, we proudly extend our commitment to all members of the West Valley community who need dependable medical transportation.
Our goal is simple: to be the transportation provider that healthcare facilities, assisted living communities, and patients can trust — every single time.
Wheelchair Transportation
Our wheelchair transportation service is designed for passengers who use manual or power wheelchairs and require a fully accessible vehicle. We operate ADA-compliant, wheelchair-accessible vans equipped with hydraulic lifts or ramps, secure tie-down systems, and safety restraints to ensure your wheelchair — and you — remain stable and protected throughout the entire journey.
Our trained drivers are certified in proper wheelchair securement and passenger assistance. From the moment we arrive at your door to the time we drop you off at your destination, we handle every step with care — including helping you board and exit the vehicle safely.
Ambulatory Transportation
Ambulatory transportation is ideal for passengers who are able to walk independently or with minimal assistance — such as with a cane or walker — but still require a reliable, safe, and supportive ride to their medical appointments or other destinations. This service bridges the gap between standard rideshare and full wheelchair transport.
Our drivers are trained to provide a steady hand, a helping arm, and a patient, respectful approach for passengers who may move slowly or need extra time. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply need dependable transportation, our ambulatory service ensures you arrive comfortably and on time.

Rex Risner
Co-Founder & Owner, Guardian Veterans
Rex built his career in high-stakes environments where pressure isn't optional—it's the job. For over a decade in customer service, he mastered staying calm amid chaos, turning frustrated callers into relieved customers and proving reliability is earned in the smallest details. Two intense years in crime scene cleanup then taught him to move with quiet composure through the unimaginable, supporting families with dignity and precision.
He brings that same proven work ethic to every ride: early, prepared, and unflappable. When your mom is waiting at the door or your resident needs that 9 a.m. dialysis appointment, Rex doesn't hope the plan works—he executes with calm focus and genuine care.
As co-founder and owner of Guardian Veterans, Rex turns every trip into more than transportation. He shows up with quiet strength and heartfelt attention to detail, making sure every passenger feels safe, respected, and truly looked after from the first warm greeting to the final "We made it—right on time."
For Rex, Guardian Veterans isn't just a business—it's a promise kept. It's about keeping every commitment, easing every worry, and being the steady, dependable presence families can count on—no matter what the day brings.
“I've spent years in roles where the details matter most and pressure never takes a break. At Guardian Veterans, I bring that same steady focus, patience, and heartfelt care to every ride. You're not just a passenger here—you're someone I'm committed to getting there safely, on time, and with peace of mind. I've got your ride.”
Matthew Lunceford
Co-Founder & Veteran Leader, Guardian Veterans
Matthew Lunceford is a proud U.S. military veteran and co-founder of Guardian Veterans, where he brings more than a decade of dedicated service and proven leadership to everything the company stands for.
During his 10+ years in the military, Matthew rose through the ranks by leading teams in high-pressure environments, making split-second decisions, and ensuring every member under his command felt supported and valued. That same unwavering work ethic, discipline, and deep sense of responsibility now guide his daily commitment to every family and business that turns to Guardian Veterans.
As co-founder, Matthew built the company on a simple belief: veterans know how to show up when it matters most. Whether it's solving an urgent problem, answering a late-night call, or walking a client through a difficult situation, he approaches every interaction with the same integrity, calm strength, and genuine care he once brought to his fellow service members.
For Matthew, Guardian Veterans isn't just a business — it's a continuation of his promise to protect, serve, and stand beside people who need someone they can truly count on.
“I spent over ten years in uniform learning what real service means. Now, as a veteran-owned business, I bring that same quiet strength and heartfelt dedication to every family we serve. You're not just a client here — you're someone I'm honored to stand beside, no matter what the day brings. We've got your six.”
