I was a resident at the Phoenix Houses in Canton, Ohio in the spring of 2010. At that time Vincent was the House Manager at Phoenix Houses. Vincent was very instrumental in my early sobriety. (I've been sober since 2009) I know...about him and his journey and I can say that he knows what it is to be sober and how to get there. I'm very happy to hear that he will be helping people on their journey to recovery, giving back what was so freely given to him.

"Hey Vince, I know we haven't spoke in a while, but I thought of you today. I was listening to a podcast with lead singer of Bad Wolves, Tommy Vext, talk about his addiction, his sobriety and everything in between. He brought up who helped him get sober at his worst and it made me think of you. I don't know if I've said this before or not, but I appreciate you being there for me in the Phoenix House...being the example of how to lose so much and still be able to come back from it. I'll never forget your truths you spoke to me, sharing your sausage and pepperoni New Yorker from Guys Pizza, discussing whether the Lakers are better than the Celtics (they're not????????????) and so much more. No matter where you are, know that I got love for you and I hope you're doing great."
