Bio
Had some real adjustment issues upon leaving the service and lost many jobs, friends, and family. Addiction and PTSD overwhelmed me to the point that I was homeless, helpless and hopeless for many years. In 2008, I reconnected with my family, got sober and got help through the VA.I found a passion in substance abuse counseling and now I help Veterans at VA to overcome their problems.
