Jorge Alvarez came to the United States from Honduras at the age of seven. He grew up with his mother and his sister in tough circumstances in the Bronx.
This episode is more about life change rather than career change. Jorge’s story focuses overcoming an addiction to alcohol and drugs. His second act finds him clean and sober and working for a sustainable recycling company. He manages a team of ten people that are in the field working with their clients to recycle glass and aluminum.
Special thanks to Deb Brown of Back On My Feet for connecting me with Jorge Alvarez.
I can’t wait to wait this one, I have a nephew who is in recovery. He is doing well, it is good to know there is HOPE!

Good blog you have got here.. It’s difficult to find good
quality writing like yours nowadays. I seriously appreciate people like you!
Take care!!
