About Montana Re-entry

The Beginning – A Foundation in Restoration

My business journey began with a friend inviting me to join in on an adventure of helping folks save their homes from being ruined by water or fire damage. I developed a great appreciation for serving customers in their time of need. I founded and grew a successful restoration business, eventually selling it after years of transforming homes and properties. This exit gave me the opportunity to reflect on a greater purpose that had been shaping my heart for years.

The Turning Point – From Professional Success to Personal Calling

Having experienced the realities of incarceration for most of the 90s, I carry with me a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals re-entering society. My personal journey, coupled with professional success, ignited a passion to give back and create meaningful change for others walking a similar path. My goal is to give the guys coming out of prison a real chance of rehabilitation and in turn they will make decisions to help rather than to hurt.

The Mission – Montana Re-Entry and the Power of Hope
  • With that vision in mind, I developed Montana Re-Entry—a faith-driven initiative dedicated to ‘Empowering Lives Through Hope and Rehabilitation.’ We work to bridge the gap between incarceration and community by providing mentorship, therapy, career development, and spiritual guidance. Our mission is to ‘Engage, Equip, and Restore the Ex-Offender’ so they can return to society as empowered and transformed individuals.
The Why – A Personal Connection to the Mission
Living in a maximum-security facility throughout much of the 1990s, I was gifted with therapy and other tools to work through my criminal behaviors. I realized that many others lack the resources to navigate this journey. My mission is to pay forward the gifts I received and create a path for others to overcome adversity, find purpose, and thrive in their communities.
The Vision – Empowerment Through Action
Montana Re-Entry is about more than just reintegration; it’s about transformation. From addressing adverse childhood trauma to victims’ empathy, parenting, and spiritual health, we empower individuals to rebuild every aspect of their lives. We measure success not just in reduced recidivism but in the creation of community leaders, productive citizens, and restored families.
Impact and Legacy – Results and Aspirations
In our first phases, we are focused on developing re-entry programs, mentorship, and partnerships with local organizations. Our long-term vision includes building a dedicated facility to provide 24/7 resources and support. This is a mission not just for today but to create a replicable model for future communities.
Call to Action – Join the Mission
Real change happens when a community comes together. Whether you’re a mentor, donor, or partner organization, you have a role in changing lives. Join us in building bridges and transforming futures.
