I witness the respect, the attentiveness, and the overall willingness of the clients who come here. They have the desperation of dying men.

Working at The Magdalen House has allowed me to feel purpose and fulfillment in my life.

5. What are some of your hobbies or things that you enjoy doing when you’re not working?

I enjoy building computers, having dinner with friends, playing video games, and watching anime.

I am a Chiefs Fan.
