We had the good fortune of connecting with Dan Hugill and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dan, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Helping people transition back into the community from DOC and finding purpose.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Myself and Matt Clovis co-founded an organization called The Bridge. We help people transition back into the community from the Department of Corrections with mentorship, leadership, fitness, recovery and purpose. We use a Peer led Restorative justice model to help all parties try to start on the path to healing.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Some places I love in the community are Slice 420 Pizza, the Sanctuary Church, Old School Boxing gym, 7 Star Phoenix Shaolin Kung Fu, CrossFit Decimate, Team Chaotic Combat Sports, and Grit Athletics. If you hang out with me it is probably going to be some sort of workout with food after.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to thank God, my Dad and Mom and anyone getting out of prison that is really trying to change their life and the community.
