WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT ENRICHING THE LIVES OF OTHERS.
Our Story
Enriched Living is a team of passionate professionals committed to delivering exceptional support for individuals with disabilities and behavioral health challenges. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive—regardless of past placements or diagnoses—and we tailor our services to meet people exactly where they are. All of our staff are highly skilled, trained, and dedicated to the work that we do. After all, we couldn’t provide the quality of service we do without them!
The goal of Enriched Living is to meet people where they are at, and establish the correct services necessary to give the person the best chance for success! This is especially true of people that have been largely unsuccessful in previous placements. By matching the person with the right services, staff, and opportunities to direct their own lives, we can make some amazing progress towards complete independence!
Through our belief in person centered services, positive behavioral supports, and a true passion from all of our staff, the people served by Enriched Living are able to develop the skills they need to thrive in their communities. We look forward to hearing from you. Your forever home is waiting!

After earning a psychology degree from Minnesota State University Mankato in 2010, he returned to the Twin Cities and advanced through several leadership roles.
