ABOUT
"I devoted all of my teenage years and most of my twenties to searching for fulfillment in all of the wrong places. I became highly addicted to alcohol and drugs and nearly lost my life several times. During those years, my family suffered more than anyone. For my parents, it was difficult to understand how to help me and I didn’t know how to help myself. They weren’t trained for this. During those times, we needed someone to provide answers and guidance. We needed help from someone with experience in these areas and we needed it yesterday.
​
Today, my role is to provide families and young men with some answers and direction. I have found my calling in helping each family navigate through their own unique process. I am blessed to have the opportunity to utilize my experience to help those weathering the same storm.”

"At the tail end of my years in addiction, I was sent away for a while. During my incarceration, my dad and I communicated through letters consistently for the first year and a half of my recovery. Letters Home is a collection of our letters to one another during that time, as well as some of my poetry, photos, and more details about our journey. We pray that our experiences will help you to feel hope and see light on the other side of darkness."
