#38: This week on Rise Recover Live we revisit our conversation with Eugene Barnes (he/him). A Baltimore city native, Eugene is a person in long-term recovery and the Volunteer Coordinator for The Phoenix-DFW.

Eugene started dancing at 11 years old and immediately fell in love with ballet. At 17, he accepted his first contract with a ballet company and spent 18 years dancing professionally. From his esteemed career as a professional dancer, to later working at a treatment center and then at The Phoenix, Eugene has adapted to many different spaces throughout his life. Tune into the episode to hear more from Eugene!
