Originally from Cincinnati, Chris founded Collective Recovery in 2016 after working in treatment since 2009. Chris has his own personal recovery story which inspired him to start working in sober house management and program management in 2009 in Arizona. In 2014, Chris moved to Salt Lake City in 2014 and began working in treatment at Steps before starting Collective (previously Inspiro) in 2016.

Before recovery, Chris owned three previous businesses bringing a wealth of business knowledge to Collective. Chris’s passion is to help others get well and in his own words “every time I help someone (get sober/well) it helps reinforce my own recovery”.

He believes the mission at Collective Recovery allows the suffering addict/alcoholic to grab on to a structure that provides the ability to climb out of the hole of addiction. Collective is unique in its approach to treat the whole person and just not the disease of addiction.

In his free time, he loves to hang out with his dog Billie Holiday (Collective’s mascot & support staff). He loves to read mysteries, thrillers, biographies and autobiographies.

Chris is very active in the recovery community, and outside of his role of CEO at Collective, you’ll find Chris always giving back to the recovery community in service to others.
