Career[edit]
Based in Boca Raton, Florida, and born and raised in Somers Point, New Jersey, Ferry began helping people early on. Ferry was a sportsman from the start and played Ice hockey as a part of his high school varsity team. At the age of 18, he received a try out invitation for the US National Team Development Program (Team USA).[7] He quit Ice hockey and got into drugs.[8][9][10][11][12]
After ongoing drug abuse and struggling with his addiction, Ferry had to go to drug rehab several times. During this time, he also was the Co-founder of the Jacksonville-based insurance franchise known as We Insure Florida. Due to his addiction, he had to leave his position and go back to rehab.[13][14] Once he got sober, Ferry started to use past experiences to help others in similar situations.[15][7][16]
After six years of being sober, he is the founder of a notable drug and alcohol treatment center, Boca Recovery Center.[17][18] Ferry is a Certified National Master Interventionist (C.N.M.I.) from the National Association of Drug & Alcohol Interventionists (N.A.D.A.I.).[19] He has studied marketing and business development in depth.[20][21][16][22][23]
Christopher Ferry, being a sportsman, now regularly attends sporting events and maintains his interest in physical fitness.[24][25][26][27][28]
He notably founded Clean and Sober - Addiction Recovery Support, one of the largest social media groups of its category.[29][30][31][32][33][34]
