About me

Jonathan Parke

By partnering with Working Recovery, you’ll be working directly with me, Jonathan. I have had the good fortune of a progressive career as a marketing executive. I attribute my success, in large part, to my long-running sobriety. Well over a decade ago, I replaced unhealthy coping mechanisms with healthy ones.

Full-stop sobriety works for me, but I recognize it is not the answer for everyone. What I find to be a constant across all the people I work with, is our need to connect with one another. Speaking with, listening to, and opening up to someone who understands your experience is crucial.

Struggling with alcohol and other substances while working at a high-level is difficult at best. Growing my career while sober shone a light on the lack of support levers available to us at this point in our transition. I went to treatment. I have had sponsors. What was missing was the opportunity to be open and honest with someone who fully understood my situation, which is why I started Working Recovery.

It is my mission to partner with other professionals and executives by providing them the power of choice that comes from the frameworks, methods, and tactics designed to alleviate the weight of dependency.

I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota with my wife and two children. I am incredibly grateful.
