Kyle Jordan, Director of Operations, sober since 3/27/2018

In 2018, the San Diego Freedom Ranch brought Kyle back into the program for a second chance at changing his life. Entering the program, he found himself homeless, without a job, mentally unstable, and absolutely hopeless. Kyle had been through the program and completed the year prior but found himself in the same situation he always did shortly after he left. This time around was different for Kyle. He thought that if he could get a year under his belt that maybe things would change. He begged to stay at the Ranch and miraculously he recovered. Hope turned into faith for Kyle and his eagerness to stay sober turned into a desire to help others. He began improving his education and knowledge of Substance Use Disorders to provide the highest level of care and improve outcomes for those in need. He became a Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor II (CADC-II), an Internationally Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor (ICADC), and completed an Associates degree in Accounting. Kyle has advanced through multiple positions with the company elevating from cooking meals for clients, to answering the calls of those still suffering, and as a Case Manager helping clients meet the many needs that arise during the treatment process. His many skills and abilities propelled him to the position of Director of Operations where he manages the daily operations of the San Diego Freedom Ranch.
