David joined The Lighthouse in 2018. In the summer of 2019, he achieved designation as a Recovery Coach Professional (RCP) from the Center for Addiction Recovery.
David has been in recovery for more than 15 years. He is an active member of local and regional recovery communities, of which he maintains numerous recovery relationships in Fairfield county. David draws upon his empathy and curiosity in guiding his own recovery and in coaching clients forging their paths.
David is a lifetime member of the PGA. Before working with The Lighthouse, he coached golf for 25 years. As a PGA Golf Professional, David relied upon his knowledge, compassion and problem-solving skills to help shape outstanding golfers. In recovery coaching, David has sharpened these skills to help guide men in early recovery. He relies upon active listening as well as his personal experiences to help others find their paths in recovery in a way that works best for each individual—not everyone makes the same golf swing to achieve their best results. The same applies to recovery.
