Our Management
Our company is owned and operated by members of the recovery community. All senior members have double digits in recovery and feel this gives us a unique ability to connect with others just like us. We have tremendous respect for the recovery process and the fellowships which continue to save lives. Our hope is to be a positive force in our community and to continue to be of service.
STO is not aligned or affiliated with any fellowships and have tremendous respect for the traditions these fellowships operate under. We are also completely independent of any out side organizations such as treatment centers or the medical community allowing us to operate with no real agenda but to give back to a community that saved our lives.

John has worked in graphics and web design since 1997 and most recently worked on several projects as an in dependant contractor in the role of graphic / web designer. STO is his concept and he looks forward to working with the other skilled members of this team to continue its success. He attended college for Biology and Psychology during the early 90's but when the computer revolution hit in 1997 he felt he had found his true calling. Like many people in the industry he is completely self taught in the realm of graphics and web design and realizes that due to its continuously evolving nature his studies will never really be finished.
"This company is awesome. I meet new people all the time and love interacting with other recovering people from around the world. Recovery really is like nothing else"
