Rodney Hough
Peer Specialist/ CRPA Certified/ Personal Trainer
Hi, I'm Rodney Hough and my last name is pronounced (Huff) I'm from North Carolina and I've been in recovery for 22 years and I had 1 slip in that 22-year period which was 11 years ago. During active addiction I lost a ton of friends to gun violence, drugs, and alcohol. I went from selling drugs to using drugs. Which led to homelessness and eventually a life of crime. I spent about 15 years incarcerated on a state and federal level. During my Incarceration I began to find my Authentic Self and I started helping people by simply sharing my story. I got involved in all programs that surrounded recovery of the mind, body, and spirit. I'm here today to share with you the essence of who I am and how I can help you find your true self as well and rid your mind of the Life traps that keep us stuck in addiction. Let's get to the root and stop treating the symptom!! Here I am, Just For You !!
I'm a single parent with 2 kids, a daughter who's11 and a 9-year-old son. I pride myself on leading by example and praying that they follow my lead and EXCEL!!
