The Team
Who We Are
Dylan
Founder & CEO
Dylan created Beachview because he believes that sometimes all we need is a second chance. Addiction is something he personally struggled with from a young age experiencing multiple treatment facilities in both Washington and California. He was eventually able to begin his lasting sobriety in Orange County. Having real accounts of being a part of programs that were missing key components needed for successful recovery, Dylan saw an opportunity to really make a difference. He recognized that the necessary time isn’t always taken to actually get to know clients. Most see a client often as one of many. Having been a part of the many, he sought ways to make sure those suffering from addiction were treated as the individuals they are by addressing and learning their specific needs and doing everything in his means to meet those needs.
Latoria Gardner
Case Manager
I chose to become a case manager for clients in detox and residential care because I have a deep, heartfelt commitment to walking alongside people during some of the most vulnerable times in their lives. I believe that everyone deserves a second chance—a space where they are met with dignity, empathy, and hope. For many, this facility represents a new existence: a place where healing begins, and the weight of the past can start to lift. It’s a privilege to support individuals as they take their first courageous steps toward recovery and rediscover their worth. I’m honored to be part of a team that offers not just treatment, but a foundation for lasting transformation.
John
Lead Therapist
As our operations director, I work directly with clients to assist their treatment while improving their quality of life and transitioning them back into society. There is nothing quite as fulfilling as being a part of a client's successful recovery.
Marcus
Program Manager
I feel grateful to have the chance to give back and help others with their recovery. Truly, I believe that's what the program is all about, that's what sobriety is all about. With my experience, I hope to continue to remind people they are not alone.
Nick
Executive Director
As Executive Director of New Existence, Nick leads with a powerful combination of personal experience and professional dedication. A person in long-term recovery, Nick has walked the difficult path of addiction and found lasting freedom through treatment, support, and perseverance. His own journey—from active addiction to sustained recovery—has become the foundation for his leadership philosophy: that everyone deserves a second chance, and no one is beyond hope.
