My journey with SC SHARE has been both enlightening and eventful. I began as a Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPSS) in January 2018 and secured a position in the field at the Veteran's Hospital by August of that year.
From there, my involvement with SC SHARE grew. I joined the Board of Directors and was eventually elected Secretary. That role led to my nomination as Chair, which ultimately paved the way for my current position as Executive Director in September 2025.
I would not change anything about the path I have taken; I believe it was my divine purpose to be where I am today.

Since becoming a Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPSS) in June 2023, I have been able to help countless people start or strengthen their recovery journey by finding sobriety. I have learned so much compassion for everyone I meet thanks to SC SHARE.
Due to my upbringing, I was not as kind, understanding, or compassionate with others as I am now. The further I get in my recovery, the more my heart continues to grow, and I have a huge passion for helping others. This is all thanks to SC SHARE and the wonderful people I am fortunate to have met all along the way.
I founded my own Recovery Specialist practice in April 2025. Becoming a CPSS first has given me the courage and strong foundation I needed so I can listen more intentionally, and help others better.
I hope I never stop learning and I hope I remain forever-curious learning about addiction, how the addictive mind works, and how we can put an end to stigma. Giving back to our recovery community also helps strengthen my own recovery journey.
With love, Chase.
