Chip has been involved in the addiction, recovery, and mental health field for over 40 years. His journey began as a counselor and therapist and evolved into leadership roles including Executive Director, Vice President, President, and CEO of both private and publicly traded healthcare organizations.
Alongside his professional work, Chip also spent over a decade in research administration at institutions such as Vanderbilt Medical School and Auburn University, supporting academic research and clinical programs. His background includes studies in biology, psychology, comparative religion, and contemplative practice—all of which complement his long-term recovery, which began more than four decades ago.
Chip has been an advisor and collaborator with Clear Path Intervention since its inception. He now plays an active role in the company’s ongoing growth by offering business guidance, operational leadership, and hands-on support through teaching, training, interventions, relapse prevention, and long-term recovery support.
His driving belief is that no individual or family should be without access to effective, evidence-based, and affordable care.
