With a background in substance use recovery, behavioral health, and program leadership, he has extensive experience supporting individuals through complex challenges including addiction, homelessness, and mental health struggles.

His approach is grounded in a biblically calibrated lens, integrating truth, identity, and personal responsibility with grace and compassion. Within Grafted In Wellness, Michael’s work supports individuals seeking deeper freedom and alignment by addressing both behavioral patterns and the beliefs that sustain them.
