Since 2004, Mr. Gonzalez has engaged in many different roles within the ASCI system of care, all of which have provided valuable learning experiences that have prepared Timothy for his current Executive Role.

In identifying future short term and long term goals, although items such as continued clinical and leadership progression, program expansion, and enhancement of internal and external collaborative efforts are reported as target areas; the overall ultimate goal is emphatically identified as the attainment of the vision of ASCI – A world where all youth have an opportunity to grow into responsible adults; where abuse and addiction cycles are broken.
