Skills

My skills include surviving active addiction for 39 years. Jails
institutions
and death are all a part of my story. How I survived those destructive
animalistic patterns of thinking and living is exactly what I bring with me. Through my personal journey of recovery
I have found a passion in being part of a team that saves lives. I have also found that I have an amazing ability to "help"
