Chad Pinel: Founder
Chad Pinel is a certified drug and alcohol counselor with over a decade of personal recovery experience. His journey has inspired a deep commitment to helping others overcome addiction and to strengthening the community through compassionate support and service.
Chad dedicates his work to the memory of his younger brother and father, both of whom lost their lives to the disease of addiction. Their loss has become a powerful source of motivation, leading him to establish a sober living home in Orange County named in honor of his brother.
In addition to his counseling work, Chad served for five years as an elected board member of the Laguna Beach Canyon Club, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals in recovery. Through this role and his ongoing service, he has contributed to an organization that supports thousands of people each year on their path to sobriety.
