After getting clean on 02/07/10, Joshua joined the Rise Recovery staff as a recovery coach in August 2012. As a successful alumni member of Bexar County Drug Court and a Certified Recovery Coach, he understands firsthand the challenges substance abuse poses for individuals and families.  

Joshua feels God has called him to this type of work and believes that giving back has been instrumental in his own recovery. After five years concentrating on adolescents, he currently serves as Facilities Coordinator for two facilities, in addition to recovery coach duties targeted to the collegiate and older group.

Joshua says, “I’ve started with adolescents, and many of them are now in our collegiate group. It’s gratifying to see them achieve the success they dreamed of years ago.” Joshua is proud dad to four children:  Luke, Chloe, Joshua Jr., and Kenna.
