Lance Hunt - President
Lance Hunt began his journey in recovery in 2014 in Whitney, Texas.
Lance is an entrepreneur, real estate developer, and proud member of his Central Texas community. He opened his first business in 2000 and takes pride in serving his customers. Mr. Hunt believes that the service mindset can be applied in every aspect of his life.
Lance was a victim of the “rinse and repeat” treatment industry, and visited detoxes and short rounds of in-patient treatment almost a dozen times before eventually working the steps as a part of an intensive, 90 day program. He has since experienced a profound alteration in his way of viewing and living life and works to share that experience with others who still suffer.
Lance believes in the 12 step program of recovery as presented in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous and founded Access to Freedom so that the solution that changed his life can be provided to as many men as are ready to take the steps.

Don Radon - Secretary
Mr. Radon first stepped into a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous on November 11, 1987. Since then he has accumulated a great deal of experience of what to do and, more importantly, what not to do. Over the past 34 years Don has worked with thousands of recovering alcoholic men and women.
He began his career in the alcohol and drug treatment field with Solutions of North Texas from 2006 to 2008. His next move was to South Texas as a member of the startup team of Origins Recovery Center and Hannah’s House (Origins’ women’s program) as the Director of Operations from 2009 through 2012.
