I had a transformational experience that changed my life in the summer of 2014 at Gulf Breeze Recovery. Since leaving there I have been asked to share my recovery story numerous times either in person, through zoom, webinars, podcasts, and an international seminar on addiction. My story is in Joe Bailey’s book Thriving in the Eye of the Hurricane as well as Chana Studley’s book Beyond Diagnosis. I have written a book of Spiritual and Inspirational quotes titled Matters of the Soul. I am in recovery from both mental illness and alcoholism. I live in Denver, Colorado with my wife and two daughters.
