I am inspired every day that I come to work – what a joy! Each day, I am in the company of people who have endured years – if not decades – of life’s obstacles, and yet persevere. I watch compassionate, professional staff dedicated to our community. And volunteers and Board of Trustees committed to our mission. As an organization, we are moved to honor the people we serve by providing purpose, home, health and community. All around us, we see stigmas breaking, illness becoming wellness, and no shortage of people coming together to help one another.

I have been exposed to chronic mental illness most of my life and when my wife’s sister who is also chronically ill joined Pathways I experienced first hand the remarkable job the organization does for loved ones in providing critical care and a loving environment. As I have become more involved with the organization and joined the board, I came to recognize how often people with mental illness are forgotten and how appreciative they are when someone is willing to listen and lend a hand. What they don’t appreciate is how they have also enriched my life

I was inspired by the enormous need that we discovered from the many frustrating years of trying to find help for our son living with mental illness. Out of that nightmare, I was moved to create Pathways – a place where our son could receive care, grow, and find a home.
