Home for the holidays!
Many have reached out to ask what our founder & CEO Jean Krisle and her husband Hal Krisle are doing, so here’s a quick overview:
Jean and Hal are #ontheroad4recovery in their personal RV that they wrapped in the 10,000 Beds logo. The forty-foot-long 5th wheel is pulled cross-country by Hal’s Ford 350 Diesel. Our awesome sponsor Elevated Billing sponsored the truck wrap! And Jean and Hal paid for the RV wrap!
In March 2017, Jean and Hal sold their home in Utah and have been criss crossing the country since, meeting with partners and speaking at industry conferences, schools, service clubs, state and county rallies, churches, meet & greets, and community organizations. Their motto continues to be “changing the face of recovery.”
