Devon has dedicated his career to helping men who have been controlling and abusive. Finding himself in the San Francisco County Jail many years ago, facing six months of incarceration and multiple charges, he knew he needed to make a change -- and if he didn’t, he could lose everything. 

And so begins his journey for taking responsibility for the harm he caused and understanding his past behaviors. Ultimately, he found himself wanting to help others take the same steps as a part of his own recovery process. His organization would become a reputable program for helping people become safer and healthier in their relationships. 

But the pandemic, funding challenges, and two failed organizational mergers led them to close their doors as an organization. But the work continues to live on in many ways.
