Meet Daryl

Daryl Pass, KYC Recov­ery Sup­port Ser­vices Man­ag­er, shares how his expe­ri­ence has dri­ven him to a career of help­ing others.

“Recov­ery is about trans­for­ma­tive think­ing and behav­ioral change. Nine years ago, I did­n’t have that under­stand­ing as I was bare­ly hold­ing on to life and was immersed in sub­stances and addic­tive behavior.”
