Kris came to The Bridge as a resident in 2012. After becoming a shining example of someone who makes a dedication to his recovery, he successfully completed his commitment. A strong advocate of giving back, Kris has become a mentor to many newcomers. During his residence and thereafter he worked in the construction field. After a number of years, Kris worked hard to open his own home improvement business and displays the highest level of integrity that makes us proud to call him a successful alumnus. The Bridge is very fortunate to have him as the property manager, as he does an exceptional job keeping everything in top condition.

“Prior to coming to The Bridge, I was caught up in a world surrounded with drugs and alcohol. I would stay up all night and sleep all day. I had no self-worth and no hope for the future. I had nowhere to go and my family finally had cut me off. With no options and no one to turn too, I needed a safe place to go. That’s when I found The Bridge and Michael. He was willing to help me out and give me a chance to rebuild my life. During my six-month stay at The Bridge, I learned how to live life again. They taught me the importance of waking up early to find work and encouraged me never to give up. They introduced me to the recovery community where I was able to grow and become a productive member of society. The much needed structured environment and guidance of The Bridge helped me succeed in my life and my recovery. A now proud business owner and property manager of The Bridge, I have a life I never could have imagined years ago. I feel without the strong foundation built at The Bridge I would not be where I am today.”
