Biography

Devin graduated from New Life House in October 2024 after fully committing to the process and building a strong foundation in his recovery. During his time in the program and in the months since, he has rebuilt relationships, developed discipline, and gained a deeper sense of purpose in his day-to-day life. What once felt like something he resisted has become something he now values deeply.

Today, Devin returns as a weekend manager at the same sober living home he once lived in, bringing both personal experience and a genuine desire to give back. He understands firsthand the challenges that come with early recovery, as well as the growth that is possible when someone stays committed. He takes pride in being someone residents can relate to, while also holding them accountable and supporting them through the process.

Outside of the house, Devin is a college student studying sociology, with long-term goals of attending law school. He also works in the restaurant industry, where he has learned the importance of consistency, teamwork, and showing up for others.

Devin is grateful to be part of a community that played such a major role in his life, and he considers it a privilege to now contribute to that same environment for others.
