I grew up in Marysville and currently live in Marion. I’m now a substance abuse counselor in Prospect and have been in recovery from addiction and alcoholism since 2018. I go to school at Clark State College to increase my license status and do more to help my fellows in recovery. I play bass in a band and like to write my own songs as well. I love to learn about all kinds of things from religion/spirituality to outer space. I have two daughters and am due to be married in June of 2025!
