Outstanding Chief Executive Officer

We have been serving the undeserved community for over 50 years. We received the 2024 Global Recognition Award and Best Business In America. My strategic leadership has led to great outcomes. We have become a trusted organization, supporting individuals facing substance use and mental health challenges. By fostering a work culture focused on value and appreciation, he has ensured that clients and employees thrive in a respectful and accountable environment.

In 2023, I achieved over 90% client satisfaction. We have maintained over 90% satisfaction rate through 2024. We are not just treating addiction here, we are rebuilding lives in the community. My philosophy has guided Ebony House’s approach of valuing human connection as much as clinical success. We also focus on practical solutions to help clients regain their independence. Bus passes, resume support, and housing assistance are all part of the comprehensive aftercare services that help clients reintegrate into society with dignity. My continuous care model is an alternative in an industry often criticized for its fragmented approach. We highlight a key truth about substance abuse treatment: it does not simply involve medical intervention but about long-term support and community. I have hired alumni of the program—people who have successfully overcome addiction and remained sober for 15, 20, or even 30 years. Our staff members offer clients an example of hope and a relatable perspective that a traditional clinical team may be unable to provide.

My forward-thinking leadership has also created an environment where employees feel valued, leading to high retention rates. I provide recognition of the team’s efforts which fosters loyalty and dedication, translating into better client care. This strong focus on employee well-being has driven positive outcomes across the organization. Since becoming President in 2022, we have consistently met high client and staff satisfaction standards, solidifying its reputation as a leading healthcare provider in Arizona.
