Meet the Team
At Aspire, we believe every man on the registry deserves a chance to rebuild his life with dignity. That’s why we’ve created a home that feels like a place anyone would want to be—a space to feel safe, respected, and supported. We work closely with inmates, their families, and probation officers to help you take those first steps toward a fresh start. Our goal is simple: to hand you the keys to a better future and walk alongside you as you rebuild your life.
Founded in 2020, Aspire Austin was established to address the acute need for supportive housing for RSOs. Our founders recognized the challenges faced by this population in finding a stable environment to rebuild their lives. With a background in recovery and sober living, our team is uniquely equipped to provide the specialized support needed for successful reentry.
Steven | Reentry Coach
Steven is a Program Manager and Leader at Aspire. He is currently in recovery from substance use disorder and has over two years of time without the use of substances. Steven has experience in dealing with incarceration and reintegration personally. After his release from prison in 2015, he has since had many triumphs and tribulations. His ability to connect to individuals on a personal level based on past experiences has proven to be a great asset.
David | Reentry Coach
David overcame a turbulent life marred by addiction, begining at 12 until his recovery at 48. From foster care to a trailer park, his journey included 87 brushes with the law and family estrangement. His redemption began in 2005 with court-ordered rehab and after embracing recovery he became a certified recovery coach helping thousands recover, from all kinds of addictions. David's raw authenticity resonates with residents, offering them hope amidst addiction's chaos.
