Certified Peer Recovery Specialist in MD and passionate about the work that falls within those domains. I enjoy meditation and exercise as major interests connected to my self-care.

Hometown: Saugus, MA

Passions & interests: The greatest passion of mine is being able to dig into the work with men in early recovery. There is nothing better than witnessing and being a part of the change. My journey in long term recovery has taught me to value the little things in life that I am now able to do. I love to do anything that allows me to be present with my wife, family, and friends. My wife and I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and taking long motorcycle rides with our friends. If I am not on the road working or with my wife, I am studying or playing softball.

The best part of my job is being able to show up for my team and clients; they all mean the world to me. I get to brainstorm and strategize with tons of different personalities. A lot of the team does not know, but I love learning from them. If I am not learning something about our industry or workplace, I am certainly learning how to effectively collaborate with different types of individuals.

Together, we can change the narrative and be a part of the solution to better treat those trapped in the problem.

Hometown: Silver Spring, MD

Passions & interests: Aside from my love of Groot and Powerlifting, I enjoy spending my free time with my family. My wife and 2 beautiful children are my most precious gift.

The best part of my job is being able to work with a multitude of people to ensure all of our facilities meet local and national standards of excellence. Being in recovery myself, I understand the shame, pain and guilt associated with being in treatment. Providing a warm environment for all of our clients allows them to begin to heal, which is something I needed ever so much when I entered treatment for the first and last time. My role is particularly important when it comes to person-centered care. Working with each facility on quality standards ensures that our clients are given that environment of empathy and healing.

Together, we can continue to help people from all over the country experience the freedom and joy of recovery, to ensure that everyone we come in contact with gets the opportunity of recovery that so many people don’t receive. Together we can break the stigma of addiction and battle this epidemic with all providers, families, loved ones and advocates.

The best part of my job is being part of a team. I was formerly in the military so it is important to me to stand alongside my colleagues and fight the good fight, so to speak. It’s also extremely gratifying to see individuals and families experience hope when we find help for their loved ones.

Together, we are much stronger than we are alone. My Amatus vision is to make an impact in the communities across the nation that are plagued by addiction and alcoholism.
