Mike Drake
Mike Drake grew up in an environment where drugs/alcohol were a daily norm, shaping his understanding of the world from a young age. Despite building a successful career in telecommunications and achieving milestones, he never felt fulfilled. Eventually, addiction emerged from the shadows and took hold, forcing him to confront his deepest struggles.
In recovery, Mike found his true purpose—helping others reclaim their lives. He transitioned into the recovery field as a case manager at a treatment center, where his calling became undeniable.
Through his new life as a recovered addict, blessings came his way—including meeting his teammate in life. Together, they are building Recovery Thunder to fulfill its mission of helping those on their own recovery journeys. Today, through workshops, coaching, and creative outreach, Mike continues to inspire individuals, proving that transformation is possible and every journey deserves to be celebrated.
