Geoffrey Hyser
Operations Manager
I was born in Chicago and moved to S. Florida when I was 3. I am the youngest of 2 children. I grew up in the Ft. Lauderdale area and was a fairly good student, unlike my older brother. I played baseball for 2 years. When my parent got divorced I started following in the footsteps of my older brother, skipping school and smoking pot, and eventually got kicked off the team for fighting. At age 14 I began smoking crack with my older brother and the rest is history. I went to 4 Tx centers before the age of 18. Once I was off of my parents insurance it was jails and state ran facilities. In 2010 I detoxed twice in jail. December 13, 2010 is my sobriety date. I am now married and have 3 children with my lovely wife. I now have a relationship with my other 2 children who were sent to live with their grandparents at birth due to my addiction. I am obviously employed at SHD and have been for the past 8 years. I am blessed beyond words to be where I am today. It is a far cry from where my life was 10 years ago.
