Brianna Deshaies
Board Treasurer
Brianna Deshaies came to Maryland in 2005 looking for a fresh start. Upon arrival, she was provided free drug treatment and was eventually afforded the opportunity to attend college. Brianna obtained her Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling and is a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). Ultimately, Brianna found her home when she gained employment as a Case Manager for the Circuit Court Drug Court Program in Anne Arundel County. As an ex-offender, and a person in long-term recovery, she understands how important it is to challenge irrational beliefs about criminal justice, law enforcement, and other responding agencies. Brianna started Harcum180 as a way to give back to a community that offered her so much.

Burrice "Big Mike" Stevenson
Volunteer
Burrice Stevenson or "Big Mike" as he is called, due to his unusual height of 6'8, was born in Annapolis, MD on October 16, 1977. His journey in recovery started in April of 2016, after 22 years of active addiction. He came to a point where he wanted to live a new way of life, so he made the decision to ask for help, and get into treatment. Two years later, and many struggles later, he is drug-free. Currently, he is working with ex-offenders in the same long-term facility where he was afforded an opportunity to attend treatment. He continues to attend meetings, work with a sponsor, attends his home group, and participates in both service work and volunteer work. Big Mike is also the proud graduate of the Circuit Court Drug Court Program in May 2017 and serving as the Head of Resource Development for Harcum180.org.
