For the past five years, he has had the distinction of serving as Chair of the CCAPP Credentialing Board, contributing to the advancement of professional standards, credentialing practices, and accountability within California’s behavioral health workforce.

He is also the CEO and Co-Founder of SEE Purpose, a detoxification and residential treatment center in Indiana focused on providing comprehensive, trauma-informed care.
Evan’s leadership philosophy is grounded in a simple but powerful principle: the people we serve deserve our very best. He believes that behavioral health professionals have an extraordinary responsibility when working with individuals during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives—and that responsibility requires a commitment to continual growth, innovation, compassion, and accountability.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Evan values time with his wife, his sons, and his dog, Scout.
