“Judging a person does not define who they are, it defines who you are."

His experience includes Resident Manager, Case Manager, Counselor and Clinical Supervisor. He says throughout his experience, “I have had the honor of working under some of the most experienced professionals in the region, helping shape my philosophy of treatment and therapy. I have spent the majority of these years exploring the most successful approaches to reaching young addicts and helping to create an urgency for change.”
After getting sober in November of 2011, Dave immersed himself in the things he once loved, but let go as a result of his addiction. Today, when he is not working, you can find Dave competitively bass fishing or loving animals of all kinds, most notably caring for his many reptiles.
As Clinical Supervisor for Brookdale, Dave hopes to assist patients in developing resilience, willingness and honesty, as he believes these things to be prerequisites for a successful recovery journey.
