More about David:

"I am excited about my new role at Hired Power, meeting new people while learning more about the resources and services available for treating individuals and families that suffer with addiction and mental illnesses.

I grew up in Huntington Beach, CA. As a small business owner and valet manager throughout college, I have learned the value of hard-work, customer service, and leadership skills. In June 2016, I will graduate from University of California, Los Angeles with a degree in Philosophy and a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society.

Growing up in Southern California, I have always loved the outdoors. My favorite hobbies include surfing, snowboarding, motocross, and hiking."

Please Join Us in Welcoming David to Our Hired Power Team!

"I believe the hardest part of recovery is after treatment, when you step back into the real world. Having a Sober Companion by my side right out of treatment was extra motivation to stay clean and sober. Their staff has a talent of helping you reach your highest potential without being pushy. Hired Power shows they care" -former client, Los Angeles
