View Wil’s Bio

Wil is a proud father of 5 young men with a wide range of various lived experiences. He has a wide range background as a peer within not just King County but Washington State. He is a WRAP 1 Facilitator; a group facilitator over a wide range of topics and subject matters that are centered around peer services and work. Just giving back and getting involved for those in need is something that continues to drive Wil. He is also a Director of Program Development for Seed2Fork which shows that taking those small steps pays off in the long run.

Something he always attempts to live his life by is a quote…

“”Your life does not get better by chance; it gets better by change.” — Jim Rohn

View Connie’s Bio

Connie comes from a background filled with lived experience and overcoming unexpected losses and events. She is currently working on completing her bachelor’s degree while also navigating the world as a young adult. Prior to working for GPS, she worked with children diagnosed with ASD. But when she heard of our organization, she knew this is where she needed to be so she can encourage and support people going through similar hardships and events that she went through as well. When she’s not busy being your number one supporter, you can find her playing with her cat and dog or jamming out to music.
