John T Curry
Founder
John Curry spent 22 years in the clutches of addiction. Today, he is blessed with over 23+ years of freedom and sobriety. John dedicates most of his time to helping others find their path to recovery. When he isn't offering a guiding hand to those battling addiction, he cherishes moments with his family or enjoys his favorite pastime—fishing.
