He currently works as a bookkeeper and income tax preparer, and is very excited about the upcoming prospect of retirement.

Despite the non-linear path of his recovery journey, discovering a dependable and supportive environment such as the Alano Club has transformed the process, making it a welcoming and enjoyable experience. He is looking forward to programming events that help connect people to the Alano Club and foster a community so many of us long for.
