JAMIE WYGANT
Jamie was raised in North Denver with her mother, father and two sisters. When Jamie was 13 years old she lost her mother to cancer. Having experienced the impact of drug and alcohol abuse firsthand, Jamie became a Christian at the age of 20 and her poor choices began to change for the better. She became involved with a prison ministry, which influenced her educational emphasis in Human Services Drug and Alcohol Counseling.
STEVE WYGANT
Steve was raised in Arizona with his mother, father, and two brothers. He married at a young age and experienced divorce after being married for eight years. He is familiar with the realities of alcohol and drug addiction within his family and the devastating consequences of these addictions. Steve has worked as a Jefferson County Sherrif since 1996 and currently serves as Commander for the Detention Services Division.
FROM OUR Past REZidents
“The years that I lived in the Rez with my parents, Steve and Jamie, are the most memorable years of my life. I watched young adults find stability in life, grow in responsibility, build a solid foundation on Christ, and become their best self. ”
