David Hutts

I helped start Crestone Wellness and get it on its feet by using my contacts in the substance use treatment industry to get people out to tour the facility before the opening. It gave people a sense of being there with the Crestone team as we started the company. I assisted in training new hires with such skills as customer service and more practical issues such as luggage searches. I helped get the Crestone Wellness brand known by sponsoring local events such as AustinNet, Recovery in the Park and The Austin Symposium. I was able to secure the golf ball sponsorship at the State TAAP Conference.

I represented Origins Recovery from Waco all the way to the coast of Texas. I set appointments with therapists, doctors, criminal defense attorneys, trust lawyers, employers and anyone else that might have clients/employees that needed the substance use help which is offered at Origins Recovery, which also included 4 facilities in Florida.
