The values he gained from treatment are service, accountability, integrity, faith, and brotherhood. His journey through addiction recovery has been the foundation of his leadership. He understands the pain of addiction, the courage it takes to seek help, and the transformative power of spirituality and a Higher Power. That understanding drives his passion for building a safe, compassionate, and effective environment where individuals can heal, reclaim their lives, and reunite with their families. Beyond the responsibilities of his role, he's most proud of the culture cultivated among the Idaho team. He believes strong teams are built on trust, authenticity, and shared purpose, and he takes the time to know his employees on a personal level. He believes Renaissance is more than a place for treatment; it's a community of healing and shelter from the storm.

After spending 17 years in active addiction, I began my recovery journey through the justice system. My recovery is deeply rooted in service work; I have spent 19 years working with homeless shelters and veterans, as well as bringing recovery meetings to prisons in both Idaho and Oregon. In 2019, when my previous company relocated to the East Coast after 14 years, I decided to pursue an education and earned my degree in social work. I have worked in admissions and business development for the past three and a half years, and I truly love what I do. Outside of work, I have a large family and love spoiling my four grandchildren. I feel that God brought me to Renaissance, and this is truly where I am meant to be. Having worked with hundreds of treatment programs across the nation, I can say from the core of my being that I have never seen another program with the level of dedication found here. From our leadership and staff to our clients, alumni, and families, our collective belief in this program stands alone.

Hi, I'm Chewy, the four-legged emotional support specialist here at Renaissance Ranch. My job is spreading joy, chasing chickens (purely for sport), and looking this good while doing it. I may be young, but I take my responsibilities seriously: wagging my tail at just the right moment, leaning in for a cuddle when someone needs it most, and providing moral support to clients during group (aka napping nearby, but with presence). Outside is my kingdom, and long walks are my board meetings. I don't speak human, but I listen better than most. One tail wag at a time, I'm here to help you heal.
