Warrie began his own recovery journey in 2005.  Since then, Warrie has gone on to earn an MBA; travel the world competing in Ironman Triathlons and ultramarathons, serve on the Board of Directors of Caron Renaissances Alumni Association, and sponsor dozens of men in recovery. Warrie volunteers as the National Alliance for Recovery Residences (NARR) liaison to Maryland and has completed numerous professional residencies within the treatment and sober-living industry.

As a Professional Recovery Coach (RCP), Warrie uses his active years after treatment to serve as the basis of the New Points™ philosophy. He knows firsthand that people new to recovery need much more than just 12-step meetings to get sober—they need goals, mentorship, camaraderie, professional guidance, fitness and fun.

His final awakening came in 2013. Looking into recovery options for himself, he simply could not find a community with the resources and peer support he needed to feel welcome. He likewise brought friends to halfway houses clearly unable to meet their social and intellectual needs. He realized treatment alone wasn’t enough; what America lacked was private sober- living communities designed for the hard work that comes in the weeks and months after. Beyond detox and education, people in recovery needed a new way of life.

If Tom could not find such a community, he would build one. So in 2015 Tom began work on New Points™. Tapping the best builders, architects, and counselors he could find, Tom set about creating the first community built entirely from the ground up for residential recovery—a place where addiction sufferers could help each other find a new way forward.
