I grew up in Anchorage, am a graduate of West Anchorage High School, and am currently a student at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. I am a father of two adorable girls, son to a wonderful mother, and friend to many. I have worked in Behavioral Health / Substance Abuse since 2008 ranging from Mental Health Worker up to Acting Program Director. I’ve worked for agencies such as Southcentral Foundation, Northstar Behavioral Health, Alaska Psychiatric Institution & Salvation Army Recovery Services just to name a few.In March of 2020, I relocated to San Bernardino County, right before the COVID lockdown happened. I relocated back to Anchorage in October of 2021. I am not in recovery, but I am a strong supporter. I have many loved ones battling addiction or having conquered it. I believe that helping those who can’t help themselves is imperative, especially when it comes to mental health and wellness. Because mental health and substance abuse often go hand in hand. Furthermore, this is my passion and a big part of my life. I support local businesses, am a motorcycle enthusiast, and love to ride in my spare time. I love music so much that I have my own mobile music entertainment company that has been in business since 2014. I love to travel, I love meeting new people and I love the outdoors.
