Welcome…


I am a music man, a family man, a cool man, a fun man, a conscious man, and most importantly, a man who has seen the light. I give back what I've been given. Once experiencing hell on earth, I now have a wife and babies. My journey involved overcoming struggles with drugs and alcohol, not through traditional therapy. At Podell Mission, when a client who has recently completed rehab comes to us, whether they are clean or battling to stay clean, we believe in exploring multiple pathways to recovery together.

Having worked as a recovery coach and friend, I understand the importance of support and guidance in overcoming addiction and leading a fulfilling life. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals eager to break free from the cycle of addiction that may have stemmed from their childhoods. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with some of the world's biggest talents, including Michael Jackson, The Allman Brothers, Muhammad Ali, and more. Through these experiences, I have come to realize that success and fame do not necessarily address the internal struggles we face. True recovery begins by looking inward, connecting with others, and becoming part of a supportive community.

Drawing from my own journey to sobriety in 2007, I have honed my skills as a recovery coach, utilizing proven steps to help my clients maintain sobriety and lead more meaningful, balanced, and happy lives. My coaching and consultation services, conducted over the internet, cater to individuals seeking support in dealing with everyday stressors related to addiction, relationships, or rediscovering joy in life. The format of my coaching sessions mirrors traditional weekly recovery coaching sessions, tailored to address your specific needs in practical ways that traditional coaching may not always provide.
