THE FOUNDER
I wasn't broken by alcohol. I was broken long before that.

About
Chipper Keener
Chipper is a Harvard Medical School-certified Lifestyle and Wellness Coach who built his practice on a simple truth: drugs and alcohol are rarely the real problem. They are the solution to one. After years of cycling through treatment, white-knuckling sobriety, and achieving every external milestone that was supposed to matter, Chipper discovered that real recovery only became possible when he stopped running from himself and started doing the deeper work of understanding who he actually was.
His own journey is the foundation of everything he teaches. Through Trident Recovery Services, Chipper works with high-performing men including former athletes, executives, and veterans who are sober but not yet recovered, successful on paper but empty underneath. His approach combines spiritual grounding, mental clarity, and physical discipline into a framework built for men who refuse to stop at the exit ramp.
