Mark Lamplugh is a rare commodity. He has taken his trials and tribulations and turned them into opportunity. He has true empathy and compassion for first responders carrying the burdens of PTSD and battling addiction. Not only does he have character but he has the qualifications. He has counseled and assisted 100's of first responders in need. I have personally recommended many first responders in need to Mark and he is always a true professional. He has shown his value in this profession time and time again. The true test of one who takes care of others is not in statistics and numbers but in the results of lives saved, changed, and transformed. I have seen these results and trust Mark not only as a professional but as a true friend. If you know someone who is struggling, please don't wait; refer them to Mark so he can help them begin their journey to a new life.
