Dave Ardell serves as the Alumni Director at Valiant Living and is a proud alumnus of the program. Having walked the recovery journey himself, Dave brings authenticity, humility, and deep empathy to his role. He leads the weekly alumni meeting—often calling it his “favorite night of the week”—and genuinely loves connecting with the men, encouraging them, and helping them stay rooted in community. Dave believes lasting recovery is built through honest relationships, shared experience, and showing up for one another week after week.
