Meet Our Team

I am a person in long-term recovery with over 30 years sober. Working my own program of recovery has given me the desire to help young people find their best life through sobriety and faith. I have spent the last 20 years working in the substance use field with 13 years of that experience doing adolescent residential programing and admissions.

I came to work at Lakeside Academy because I wanted to work at a facility where I could incorporate my Christian faith into my career. I have a passion for helping youth find their way to the Lord and through Him find the life-affirming recovery they deserve.

In my personal time I enjoy spending time with my wife and family and volunteering with my church youth group. I am an avid runner and love music, both listening and playing.
