It’s easier to stay clean and sober, than it is to get clean and sober.
I work primarily with individuals who haven’t been able to come to terms with their substance use disorders. Those who have lost control and are doing serious damage to their relationships, their lives and themselves.
For many the most challenging part is simply recognizing and admitting they have a problem.
They will say they’re too busy, I can’t possibly find the time to get help or go to treatment. There are more options than ever today to find effective recovery programs that adapt to even the most demanding lives.
Recovery is my story too, I understand the denial that blocks people from even believing they have a problem. I understand how powerful the “disease” of substance use disorder is and the challenges that go along with getting and staying clean and sober. I know it can be overcome.

Transports
getting people safely to treatment and back home again.
Transport services play an important role in getting people safely to treatment and back home again. Instead of sending a family member who isn’t experienced and understanding of the lengths an addicted person will go when confronted with treatment, you will be sending someone who is trained how to deal with this situation. In my case someone who has been in recovery for tweleve years and worked in recovery for the past seven years.
As a provider of transport services I am trained to deal with the unexpected and aware of the complications one may face when traveling by air or on extended drives. This is a job that requires constant vigilance and the ability to react to any situation you may confront.
Returning home after treatment and dealing with the realities of life can be highly unsettling. What happens in the first few days will often determine if the individual can set up a routine that will effectively support long term recovery.
Golf Mindfulness
Mindfulness is an important part of recovery.
I have had the privilege of playing golf with many of the men I’ve worked with as a recovery coach. In addition to the joy of playing, I’ve also found it conducive to building relationships and providing the time for meaningful conversations about recovery.
For some, the golf course was a place to continue their drinking and drug use often at the expense of their game. Others stopped playing altogether to spend more time with their substance use disorder(s). Either way, playing golf clean and sober is a revelation for these men and proves that they can have a great time being clean and sober.
We know the game of golf can be a powerful tool for self reflection and positive change. A welcome alternative to the isolation, anxiety and depression felt in early recovery. Golf is a perfect opportunity to spend time outdoors and experience the joy of nature and the camaraderie of others.
I don't teach the physical fundamentals of the game or work with beginners. I teach recovery golf using mindful techniques to bring entirely new dimensions to help treat emotional sobriety and improve play.
BIO
My Life in Recovery
I'm a recovering person with twelve years of continuous sobriety. I work the steps, go to meetings, sponsor men and wake up everyday in gratitude for my recovery. At five years into my sobriety I was asked to be a sober coach by a friends wife. I ended up living with the family for months at a time and helping him get back into treatment when he relapsed. Together, we eventually built him a sober program that is still in place today.
And I learned that I loved working with people in early recovery.
I went on to become a Certified Recovery Coach (CCAR) Interventionist (CAI, CEI), and Life Coach (CLC). I have worked with men from concierge level treatment centers in all capacities; recovery life coach, case manager, companion, interventionist and safe passages.
I'm a vibrant, positive man with lots of energy to bring to any situation. I love working with people and am a trained listener and communicator.
I’m in a loving relationship, we have a cat, Twilight. I’m an avid golfer, like going to the gym, taking extended walks on the beach, spending time with my family in California, mediation, going to AA Meetings, music, travel, road trips, stick shifts, dining out and seeing movies in a movie theater.
If I can help someone in your family or a friend have a breakthrough moment of clarity when they can finally see through their denial and understand why choosing recovery is their best and only option, please contact me today. There is no charge to you for our initial call
