A living community of service and transformation.

Born in 1983 in Iowa City, Iowa, Jonathon is a Yankee at heart who still enjoys cold weather. He had an active childhood built around sports, has an identical twin brother and two half-sisters, and values integrity and dependability above all. He takes pride in being someone others can rely on.

Jonathon moved to Austin in 2014 for a change of scenery and a fresh start, which sparked his first experiences with recovery at the Arbor IOP and Fallen Tower Sober Living. After a return to Houston and a hospitalization that left him feeling hopeless, he reached out to an old sober-living house manager for help and found his way to Ranch House Recovery. There he learned to handle life on life's terms.

Today Jonathon is successful, happy, and doing things in recovery he never thought possible. In his free time he is a family man, spending his days with his wife, Alex, and their four kids enjoying everything the Austin area has to offer.

Cody hails from Wilcox, Arizona, and brings a rich background as a cow-horse trainer, farrier, and former professional roper from 1990 to 2010.

His role goes beyond overseeing the property. Living on-site, Cody is a living example of a better way in recovery, giving residents a daily glimpse into a transformative journey that fosters connection and hope.

As someone who received support at his own lowest point, Cody aims to be the relatable figure he once needed. For him, Ranch House Recovery is not just a workplace but a place of connection, understanding, and positive change.

Alexandra supports daily operations, organizational systems, and program development at Ranch House Recovery. Her work spans administrative functions, financial processes, staff onboarding, and internal coordination, keeping the organization running effectively.

Alex brings a strong background in recovery advocacy, nonprofit operations, and community engagement. Grounded in lived experience, she is committed to building supportive environments where people can grow and thrive, helping strengthen the structure that lets the program and its community keep evolving.

Outside of her work, Alex is rooted in her role as a wife and mother, with a deep commitment to family and community.

A Texas native from New Braunfels, Daniel grew up on land that closely resembles the Ranch House property, an environment that still grounds him and feels like home. His deep connection to the outdoors aligns naturally with the ranch and shapes the steady, present approach he brings to his work.

Daniel's path to sobriety was not linear. After several attempts, his most recent effort led to lasting change and a passion for helping others find the same. That lived experience lets him connect with men in early recovery in a genuine, practical way, meeting them where they are while offering guidance, accountability, and support. He believes in the power of brotherhood and in leading by example.

Outside of his work, Daniel is a proud father who enjoys time with his family and staying active, with a love of rock climbing, weightlifting, fishing, and being outdoors.

Seamus is a recovering drug addict from Seattle, Washington. He used just about every drug he could for nearly ten years before getting sober at South Texas Recovery Foundation. He had been to several treatment centers before, but working on a farm while actively doing his Twelve Steps was what finally made things click. He stayed on and worked there for six months after getting sober.

He recently moved to Austin with his girlfriend and loves it, calling it the nicest city he has ever lived in. The recovery community there has been exactly what he needed to keep growing in sobriety. In his free time he enjoys trying new restaurants and going on little hikes.

More than anything, his favorite thing to do in Austin is come out to Ranch House and share the same gift that was freely given to him. Today his life is blessed in ways he never thought possible.

Scott has worked in the recovery community for several years and is deeply passionate about supporting men who have a genuine desire to get sober and build a new way of life. As the Program Director, he is committed to walking alongside others in their recovery and helping them find purpose and direction.

He is also a devoted husband and father to two children, which gives his recovery a strong foundation and deeper meaning.

Scott came to Austin in 2017 seeking sobriety and found his tribe within the recovery community. While his path has not been easy, he lives today with a genuine sense of gratitude for the life he has built.

Cristy brings fifteen years in substance use treatment to Ranch House Recovery, spanning intensive outpatient through residential and detox levels of care. She has served as an executive director, clinical director, director of operations and compliance, IOP director, counselor, and case manager, and has been a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor since 2011.

She studied sociology at the University of North Texas and in 2025 earned a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Touro University Worldwide, graduating summa cum laude. Years spent treating men and their families convinced her that recovery moves through the whole family system, not the individual alone. As a certified ADHD clinical services provider, she also reaches men whose executive functioning has been part of what kept them stuck.

Cristy has been a client in treatment herself, and once called herself a chronic relapser. That history is why she does this work. She advises Ranch House Recovery with the same conviction once extended to her, that someone can hold hope on your behalf until you are able to hold it yourself.

Ryan is a recovering alcoholic and addict who began using drugs and alcohol at a very young age while growing up in Virginia. After years of struggling with addiction, he made the decision to come to Texas in search of a new way of life, and since finding recovery, he hasn't looked back.

Austin quickly became home, and the recovery community there gave Ryan the foundation he needed to build a life beyond anything he thought possible. Through his own experience, he developed a passion for helping others who are searching for the same freedom that was so freely given to him.

Today, Ryan is dedicated to walking alongside others in recovery, offering hope through lived experience. He believes lasting recovery is possible for anyone willing to seek the solution, and he considers it a privilege to help others find the same new life that transformed his own.

Clint is a recovering addict and alcoholic who spent twenty five years struggling with addiction. Originally from Conroe, Texas, he came to Austin a little over a year ago looking for treatment and a new lease on life. Through his own recovery, Austin became more than a place to get sober. It became the place he rebuilt his life and found a renewed sense of purpose.

An LMSW and LCDC with several years in the behavioral health field, Clint brings professional training and lived experience to his work as a Mentor. He believes in the peer led model at Ranch House Recovery and in its power to help men build new behaviors, hold themselves accountable, and form lasting relationships with themselves and others through hard work and the Twelve Steps.

Today Clint finds his purpose walking alongside other men as they build lives beyond addiction. Having felt both the difficulty and the transforming power of recovery firsthand, he offers the men he serves hope, encouragement, accountability, and understanding. He believes recovery is about more than getting sober. It is about learning to live with freedom, happiness, purpose, and goals worth working toward.
