Grounded in
experience.
Personal and professional.
"I know what it costs to lose everything to addiction — and I know what it takes to rebuild."
I'm a recovery coach, sober companion, and case manager based in Redondo Beach — working with individuals and families navigating some of the most complex presentations in the field.
My work is grounded in years of clinical and field experience, a genuine recovery community, and a personal history in recovery that informs everything I do. I became a sober member of AA in October 2017. That experience — what it asks of a person, what it actually costs, and what it genuinely offers — is at the center of how I show up for clients.
I specialize in dual diagnosis and co-occurring disorders — the layered cases where mental health and substance use are tangled together in ways that standard treatment hasn't been able to fully address. I've worked with people who have been through treatment multiple times and need something different. I try to be that something different.
I'm warm, direct, and present. I don't manage from a distance. I show up — at appointments, in the community, in the moments that matter most. My clients and their families know they can count on me to be there and to be honest.
I'm a former collegiate baseball player and a lifelong multi-sport athlete. I integrate movement, surfing, mountain biking, hiking, and outdoor experience into recovery as genuine therapeutic tools — not add-ons. For the right client, the body is the path.
I also love camping — getting away from the noise and back into nature. That connection to the natural world keeps life in perspective and keeps me grounded. It's something I bring into the work whenever I can.
I live in Redondo Beach with my wife Sarah and son Lucas. I do my best work in person.
