The Founders
Hello my name is Drew Hornbeck. I am the Executive Director and Co-Founder
of New Vision Wilderness. I have a BA in Sociology from the University of
Minnesota. For over 15 years I have been working in the field of Adventure
and Wilderness Therapy. I have helped design and implement therapeutic
programs across the country. My past positions include working as a Field
Director at Trailhead Wilderness School in Colorado, a Wilderness Expedition
Specialist at Raven's Way in SE Alaska, and as an Experiential Therapist at
Rogers Memorial Hospital in Wisconsin. Over the span of my career I have also
worked with youth in Minnesota, Montana, and Hawaii.
In returning to my home state of Wisconsin to raise my family, I found that
there were limited treatment options in the midwest for teens. (especially for
those who were not responding to traditional treatment interventions) I
developed a small program in 2003 designed to inspire teens to make more
positive decisions. Upon meeting Steve Sawyer for the first time in early 2007,
I found that my program designs and passion for helping teens were a great
match with Steve's vast clinical expertise. Together along with our amazing
team of professionals, we have founded a unique, positive, and effective
therapy model for teens and families.
My role at NVW includes Admissions and Program Management. I have a
hands-on approach to running NVW and my personal mission is to ensure that
the physical and emotional safety of our clients is the number one priority at all
times. I am happy to speak with parents about NVW. I can be reached on the
Admissions line at (414) 801-9791. When not at work, I enjoy spending time
outdoors with my wife and two beautiful daughters. E-mail Drew.
