J.R.

J.R. is a Certified Addiction Recovery Coach (CARC), Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Life Coach, Army veteran, and dedicated to helping individuals build fulfilling lives in recovery through accountability, structure, fitness, and mindset.

After serving with the 101st Airborne Division in Iraq, J.R. returned home carrying the invisible wounds of war.

Like many veterans, he struggled to reconnect with civilian life and eventually built a successful career as a DJ in the nightlife industry.

While rewarding in many ways, the lifestyle, combined with unresolved trauma, fueled years of addiction, leading his life into a downward spiral.

Through determination, self-reflection, and a commitment to personal growth, J.R. rebuilt his life from the ground up and has now maintained more than seven years of sobriety.

Through his coaching practice, J.R. has worked with more than 100 clients, helping them maintain sobriety while building lives they are excited to live.

His philosophy is that lasting recovery is about more than avoiding drugs and alcohol, it is about creating purpose, confidence, healthy relationships, and daily habits that make sobriety worth protecting.

J.R. believes in a holistic approach to recovery, recognizing that physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness all play an important role in long-term success.

Fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, and intentional daily routines have become cornerstones of his own recovery and continue to shape how he lives each day.

He believes that when people learn to care for both their bodies and their minds, they create a stronger foundation for lasting change.

J.R. specializes in supporting individuals during the vulnerable transition from treatment back into everyday life.

His approach emphasizes consistency, healthy routines, confidence building, physical wellness, and developing a new identity beyond addiction.

Whether accompanying clients to appointments, recovery meetings, social events, travel, or simply helping them navigate daily challenges, he provides compassionate, judgment free support while encouraging personal responsibility and long-term growth.

Known for his calm presence, strong accountability, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life, J.R. believes recovery is about far more than abstaining from substances, it is about creating a life that no longer requires escape.
