Born in Chicago in December of 1953, Jimmy comes to this non-profit with a lifetime of experience in addiction, recovery, treatment, and healing.  That experience covers fourteen years working within and managing every evidence-based modality used in drug treatment today.  His curious mind leads him to place these issues within a broader historical context and to search the farthest edges of holistic medicine and healing.  His vision involves melding disparate elements into a greater whole.  His desire is always to work as a team, create a safe space for truthful communication and consensus, and lead team members to greater efficiency and proficiency.  Jimmy loves long-term residential treatment as a means of turning lives around.
