Position: Executive Director
Year of Hire: 2019
Favorite Quote: “It may seem incredible that these men are to become happy, respected, and useful once more. How can they rise out of such misery, bad repute and hopelessness? The practical answer is that since these things have happened among us, they can happen with you. Should you wish them above all else, and be willing to make use of our experience, we are sure they will come. The age of miracles is still with us. Our own recovery proves that!” Alcoholics Anonymous pg. 153.
Education:

Bio: Before entering the Beacon House in 2017 for a heroin addiction, Archie Hoggan had lost everything of meaning in his life including his profession, home, family, and his children. The Beacon House transformed Archie and allowed him to finally break the chains of addiction. Archie was able to be reunited with his daughters Indie and Mae. Most importantly, he has meaning and purpose derived from being of service to others who are still stuck in the disease of addiction.
Outside of work, Archie enjoys connecting with family, running marathons, hiking, and spending time connecting with his new fiancé Shannon. Archie feels honored and privileged to lead the Beacon House. He is striving to ensure the same recovery that was freely offered to him lasts for generations to come.
