Terre was born in Terre Haute, Indiana and was raised in Lexington, South Carolina. He first found recovery in 2001 and after seven years, Terre went through a series of overwhelming family issues resulting in him returning to use.  Terre spent almost a year in jail after being arrested on several drug charges. He credits the final arrest with saving his life.  

 

In November 2020, he was accepted as a reentry resident at Oxford House Morgin in Aiken, SC.  He was introduced to the Oxford House model, which he found to be an incredibly impactful approach for reentries by providing a secure and safe haven to recover and rebuild. 

Over the course of three years, Terre developed a profound passion for recovery. This passion inspired him to support and uplift others on their sobriety journey. He is a strong advocate for Oxford House and recovery in his community, sharing his experience, strength, and hope with everyone who needs to hear it.

​

Terre enjoys attending meetings, reading, kayaking, and is proud to say that on June 9th, 2023, he celebrated three years of sobriety. He is grateful for the opportunity to become a member of our outreach team and looks forward to serving reentries and Oxford House in any way possible.
