A native of Provo, Utah, Thayer successfully left his own addiction to enter the field of substance abuse treatment and helping teens and adolescents similarly find hope and help. Thayer has been in sobriety for nearly a decade. Commenting on his own addiction, Thayer states, “Having been there myself, I understand fully what leads to addiction to alcohol or other substances, but I also understand the way out of that disease. It is that personal experience that I will bring to helping families and teens at New Beginnings in my role as Director of Business Development.”
Thayer’s career began in 2008 following his treatment for his own addiction and he has held several marketing positions for a local recovery center on to an adult wilderness recovery program based in Utah.
