A Message from the Executive Director

America is experiencing a drug epidemic. Back in the early 1970s I had my own serious drug addiction. A former hippie, drug dealer and serious addict, I was able to kick the habit through my own spiritual rebirth. What treatment couldn’t do alone, a personal relationship with Christ did. I have been completely drug free since 1972. After college and graduate school I entered the ministry where I have been active for over 30 years. My whole ministry has always involved working with the addiction community. I have a Masters Degree in Psychology and Counseling from the University of Wisconsin and love working with the recovery community; I have devoted my life to this work.

God has obviously blessed Minnesota Teen Challenge. Over the years we have gained a strong reputation of being one of the most successful drug rehabilitation programs in the state. We have a very dedicated staff of professionals that give their life and soul for every resident here. It is an honor to be a part of this organization.
