The Citronia team
Get to know the people behind the home and the experience they bring to everyday life at Citronia.
Founder & Operations Manager
Zack’s work in sober living grew from his own experience with addiction and recovery.
After moving from Connecticut to Los Angeles in 2015, he became active in the local sober community, worked at a rehabilitation center, and helped build sober living homes across Los Angeles.
At Citronia, he manages the home’s daily operations. His approach draws on 12-step recovery, holistic practices, and an active lifestyle.
Founder & CFO
Citronia grew in part from Bill and Zack’s relationship as stepfather and stepson. Bill supported Zack through a difficult chapter, and their family’s experience with addiction shaped a shared desire to help other residents and families.
A CPA by profession, Bill partnered with Zack in 2017 to turn that idea into Citronia. He manages Citronia’s finances and helps keep the home running smoothly.
Program Manager
Chris brings professional experience as a sober-living house manager and recovery professional, alongside more than 35 years of personal experience with addiction. His sobriety date is January 11, 2023.
His approach combines empathy, clear expectations, community, and practical guidance for daily life in recovery.
Certified Service Dog
Born in June 2016, Max was trained as a certified service animal and has become a warm, energetic presence around Citronia. His friendly nature offers an easy point of connection and is known to bring a smile to residents and visitors alike.
