Quinn's Owner
Troy NixonVeteran of the United States Navy. I have worked with troubled teens over the past 12 years at a residential treatment facility in Michigan. I have very much enjoyed worked with the teens and watching them transform their lives. I am still in contact with past residents that are now adults with kids of their own. Helping individuals overcome the traumas they have experience in life is what brings me joy. Quinn has become an amazing partner in reaching young people and giving them hope for a greater future.
