Co-Owner and Arizona native Markus is an entrepreneur, former NFL wide receiver, and firm believer that the best days start before sunrise. After building a successful career on the football field, Markus has applied that same discipline, drive, and competitive spirit to growing multiple businesses, including those focused on compassionate behavioral health and evidence-based treatment for substance use disorder, all while raising his family in the community he proudly calls home. When he’s not leading companies or squeezing in an early morning workout, you’ll find him investing time where it matters most—his wife and four children. A passionate advocate for giving back, Markus is deeply committed to supporting local initiatives that strengthen the Arizona community for future generations. Whether in business, fitness, or fatherhood, Markus approaches life with the same game plan: work hard, stay humble, and leave every place better than you found it.

Co-Owner When you need a connection, a recommendation, a favor, or someone who knows a guy who knows a guy, Cody is probably your first call, or HE is the guy. As a successful realtor, co-founder, husband, and father of four, Cody has built his life around relationships, reflecting his compassionate approach to behavioral health. He genuinely enjoys meeting people and hearing their stories, especially those related to overcoming challenges like substance use disorder, and finds ways to help. Whether he’s connecting families to their next home, supporting a friend, or helping grow the business alongside Markus, Cody’s approach is simple: people come first. Most weekends, you’ll find him in the audience of a dance competition cheering on his daughters with the enthusiasm of someone whose child has just won a world championship—whether they have or not. Cody’s excitement for life is so legendary that first-time acquaintances occasionally wonder if he’s exaggerating. Those who know him best will tell you the truth; he’s just genuinely that excited. His greatest pride isn’t found in business or real estate, but in the family he and his wife have built together. Cody believes success means showing up, staying connected, and advocating for evidence-based treatment when it comes to challenges faced by those he cares about. Fortunately for everyone around him, that’s exactly what he does.

Operations Manager If there’s a gathering happening, chances are Divina either planned it, hosted it, or somehow convinced everyone it was their idea. A California-raised creative with an executive background, she has spent her career building teams, growing businesses, and finding ways to bring people together. Before becoming a founder, Divina held executive leadership roles supporting multi-billion-dollar organizations, proving that you can be both strategic and human at the same time. Today, she channels that same energy into entrepreneurship and community building, particularly in the field of compassionate behavioral health, where she is dedicated to creating spaces that foster connections and support for those seeking evidence-based treatment for substance use disorder. At home, life revolves around her greatest accomplishments: being a wife, mom to one amazing human, caretaker of two cats and a flock of chickens, and honorary auntie to just about every kid in her orbit. When she’s not working, you’ll find her chasing her next creative obsession; whether that’s designing a themed game night, tackling a home project, scuba diving, snowboarding, or hosting a gathering that somehow always turns into a late-night event. She firmly believes that life’s best moments happen around a table with good food, great people, and plenty of laughter.
