Hello, my name is David and I have been part of the Pine Rest team since February 2022. I specialize in working with individuals facing substance use disorders and mental health challenges. As someone in recovery, I am deeply passionate about supporting others in their journey toward healing and well-being. This commitment to helping individuals in similar situations has been a central focus of my career since I found recovery myself.
I earned my graduate degree in Social Work from the University of Michigan School of Social Work, following my undergraduate studies at Saginaw Valley State University. My educational background has provided me with a solid foundation to work effectively with those in need.
Outside of work, I enjoy a variety of hobbies, including watching films, spending quality time with family and friends, playing video games, collecting shoes, drawing, getting tattoos, and cooking. I am a strong advocate for openness and frequently share my personal journey in recovery to inspire and support others as they work toward their own mental wellness.
