Tony Pool, Founder
Hello, I’m Tony Pool, the founder and operator of Beecon Recovery located in Brigham City, Utah. Having grown up in an environment affected by alcohol abuse, I understand the challenges of addiction firsthand. At Beecon, our mission goes beyond traditional recovery, we’re here to guide individuals on their journey to lasting sobriety.
As someone who experienced the impact of addiction within my own family, I am deeply committed to helping others overcome the struggles of drug and alcohol abuse. My personal journey fuels my passion for creating a space where individuals can find healing, support, self-love, and a path to reconnect with themselves.
At Beecon, we believe in more than just breaking free from addiction; we are dedicated to teaching individuals how to “stay stopped.” We understand that addiction affects not only the individual but the entire family. My goal here at Beecon is to provide comprehensive recovery programs that address the root causes of addiction and promote healing for everyone involved.
Beecon is more than a recovery center; it’s a sanctuary for rediscovery. We focus on teaching essential life skills, fostering self-awareness, and nurturing personal growth. Our programs empower individuals to rebuild their lives and relationships, promoting a holistic approach to recovery.
If you or a loved one is seeking a path to lasting recovery, Beecon is here for you. Explore our programs and resources to discover a supportive, loving community dedicated to helping you reconnect with yourself and your loved ones.
Lee W., LCSW, SUDC, Clinical Director
The windmill is a universal symbol of life, serenity, resilience, self-sufficiency, and perseverance while harnessing the energy necessary to thrive in a sometimes-harsh environment. I witness these same aspects in the lives of others that I get to work with each day.
I utilize client-centered and solution-focused approaches along with multiple modalities to obtain the best results. I’m passionate about addressing issues associated with various forms of addictions, domestic violence, dual diagnosis, depression, anxiety, and trauma.
I have a dual Master of Social Work and Master of Public Administration degree. In addition to being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I’m also a Licensed Substance Use Disorder Counselor (SUDC). I’m trained in EMDR trauma therapy, certified in Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), and certified through the Utah Association for Domestic Violence Treatment (UADVT) in both survivor and offender training.
I enjoy almost anything outdoors, which is why my family has made Northern Utah and these beautiful surroundings our home. Whether riding wave runners in the summer, sleds in the winter, and hiking or camping any time of the year, life is worth connecting. I love helping others find their connections!
Dr. Robert Bush, MD, Consulting Physician
Kirk W., Medical Director, A.P.R.N.
I work with Beecon because of their unique approach to client care and dedication to improving outcomes.
Jentry M., Medical Director, A.P.R.N.
Having a history of addiction myself as well as losing people close to me because of it, I understand how complicated it is. Addiction is multifaceted, and I love that Beecon acknowledges that and addresses it in their treatment. They work to resolve underlying factors and help give people resources and skills to not only help them stay clean but to allow them to live more successful and meaningful lives beyond addiction.
Russell T., Operations Director
I am deeply committed to serving others and fostering positive change in my community. My journey, marked by resilience, has led me from overcoming addiction to maintaining eight years of sobriety, inspiring others along the way.
In management roles at group homes, I’ve provided compassionate support to individuals with diverse needs, nurturing an environment of care and inclusivity. My dedication extends to law enforcement, where I’ve excelled as a training officer and leader, ensuring my team is well-prepared for any challenge.
Most recently, I’ve focused on addressing substance use disorder and mental health in a residential facility, overseeing operations and empowering individuals on their recovery journey.
Outside of work, I cherish time with my family, including my wife, three children, four grandchildren, and the always majestic Winston (200+ pounds of slobbery Great Dane). Nature beckons me as an avid outdoor enthusiast, while self-care through weightlifting maintains my well-being.
Through my journey of personal growth and professional achievements, I strive to embody resilience, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to serving others.

Jade P., Wellness Coordinator Supervisor
I’m Jade! Ever since I was in high school, I always pictured myself working in something to do with substance abuse. When I stumbled across the job listing for Beecon to do neurofeedback, I knew I had to apply and I’m so glad I did. Working here has truly changed my outlook on life and it has opened my eyes to so many things!
I am currently engaged to my fiancé Blade. We have a Border Collie/blue healer mix dog named Gabby and a Fancy Bearded Dragon named Wade. I enjoy spending my free time with my family, my niece, and my nephew are what keep me going and they are why I wake up every day.
Jazie S., Lead Peer Support Specialist & Case Manager
I have a history of addiction and have watched numerous loved ones go through the struggle of addiction themselves. I have always wanted to help others see that it is possible to have a life outside of addiction and that they can still pursue their dreams. Working at Beecon has made that goal possible.

Maddilyn L., Program Supervisor
I’ve been in addiction myself and I know how hard it is to get out of it. Helping others see that there is life after addiction is important to me. I love my job!
Penny M., Wellness Coordinator
I originally came to Beecon as a client to help with my addiction. I choose Beecon for the great program they have. I learned a lot about myself and my addiction and when I graduated I started to work here in the Wellness Center providing Neuro Feedback to the clients. I love helping others and enjoy giving back to the place that changed my life. If you need help please give Beecon a chance. I know we at Beecon can help you too.
John Garland, CMHC - Clinical Therapist
Alejandra M., CSW, Clinical Therapist
Welcome! I’m Alejandra Millsap, a passionate therapist dedicated to helping individuals find clarity, resilience, and empowerment in their lives. With a warm and client-centered approach, I specialize in various therapeutic modalities including Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Strengths-Based Therapy.
Originally from Mexico but having spent much of my life in Utah, I bring a unique cultural perspective to my practice, fostering inclusivity and understanding in every session. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Weber State University and completed my Master’s in Social Work at the University of Kentucky, where I honed my skills and commitment to making a positive impact in people’s lives.
Outside of my professional endeavors, I find solace and joy in the great outdoors. You’ll often find me camping, hiking, paddle boarding, or riding ATVs with my beloved family and our furry companions. Nature serves as both a sanctuary and a source of inspiration, fueling my passion for holistic well-being.
I believe in the inherent strength and resilience within each individual, and I am here to support you on your journey towards personal growth and fulfillment. Together, we’ll navigate challenges, explore opportunities, and cultivate meaningful changes that resonate with your unique strengths and values.
I look forward to the privilege of walking alongside you as you embark on the path towards healing, sobriety and self-discovery.
Adam W., CSW, Clinical Therapist
Throughout my life I have been focused on helping others achieve becoming the best version of themselves they can be. I find great joy and personal satisfaction in seeing the success of those I have helped.
I was born and raised in the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. I have 22 years of service in the military. I am currently in the office of the Inspector General with the 151st Wing in the Utah Air National Guard. I served in both the Air Force and Army, and have been Active, Reserve, and Guard. Past assignments include Crew Chief on the F16, Flight Engineer on the C-5, two years in the Army with a Combat Engineer company, and again as a Flight Engineer this time on the KC-10.
I attended Radford University earning my Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology in 2012. While there I worked as part of the Veteran Reintegration Project. Once I decided I was done flying I attended Utah State University (USU). Receiving my Master’s of Social Work (MSW) in 2023. Also while at USU I became certified in Mind-Body Bridging (MBB). MBB is a transdiagnostic treatment modality with the focus of alleviating psychological distress for a broad range of mental health issues, and increasing psychological flexibility and resilience. Other areas focus include Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Flying was amazing and being a therapist has proven very rewarding, however, the most fulfilling job I have is that of husband and father. These two jobs have provided me with the greatest challenges and also unmatched rewards. I have learned patience, self-sacrifice, and love. I have been blessed with an amazing wife and she has brought eight great kids into our world. Together we also have a small farm where we raise goats, chickens, ducks, and highland cows. When not working on the farm as a family we love to travel and enjoy the outdoors.
Haydee L., Administrative Assistant
Michael T., Peer Support Specialist
I am a Peer Support Specialist who works with people struggling with addictions to help them see a better way of life, overcome their addictions, and work to become happy and productive members of society. I have overcome my own struggles with alcoholism that would destroy careers, relationships, and would find me in handcuffs and hospital beds. My last drink was April 9th of 2018. I am passionate about recovery because of the steps I took to save my own life, and the opportunities I’ve had over the last 5 1⁄2 years to see the miracles that can happen in lives, families, and relationships.
I have had the experience of mentoring and sponsoring through AA, and also acting as a facilitator in the recovery program of the LDS church. This gives me opportunities to share in meetings and to share my story during 5th Sunday presentations at various LDS ward houses. In my off time, I enjoy growing fruits and vegetables in my garden/orchard, walking my dogs, biking, working out at the gym, and either playing the piano or giving lessons.
Samantha S., Case Manager
I am passionate about helping people and love watching clients progress here at Beecon. I am currently in a Masters program for social work and enjoy learning how to be a better helper for my professional and personal development.

Kevin W., Marketing Specialist
Hey, I’m Kevin – the go-to guy for all things marketing and IT around here. With a background in Computer Science and a knack for problem-solving, I’m here to keep things running smoothly and tackle any challenge that comes our way.
Since joining the team in January 2024, I’ve been juggling social media, website maintenance, and client recruitment. However, my most important role is that of a proud dad to two beautiful and extremely gifted daughters.
Off the clock, you’ll find me napping, spending time with family and friends, immersed in the realm of competitive gaming, under the hood of a car, hitting the trails for a hike, or simply enjoying the serenity of birdwatching.
