I crawled into recovery the summer of 1989.  Those early years of sobriety weren't easy, but I developed a respect for the disease of addiction and gratitude for the program that put me on the path to healing.

 

Working closely with men in recovery for several years led me to a career in sober coaching and intervention services.  My passion is sharing the gift of sobriety with others.

 

A better life truly is possible.
