  • Dave Durocher Part 2
    2024/01/02

    Dave Durocher joins BJ as they discuss his role at The Other Side Academy and the partnership that he has had with Suited for Good these past few years. His Bio is listed below.

    Dave Durocher was arrested for the first time at the age of thirteen. By the time he was 38, he had been to prison four times for a total of fifteen years. Dave was arrested yet again, and this time he was facing a twenty-nine-year prison sentence. In what the judge called “the chance of a lifetime” he afforded Dave the opportunity to go to Delancey Street instead of prison but reminded Dave in no uncertain terms that if he didn’t complete his commitment at Delancey Street he would be spending the rest of his life in prison.

    Not only did Dave complete his initial two-year commitment, but he also stayed for a total of eight years and became the Managing Director of Delancey’s Los Angeles facility for five of those years, overseeing two hundred and fifty residents and a multitude of vocational training school businesses that funded the operation and provided the training ground for residents to learn how to live a constructive and meaningful life. Dave oversaw a 300% increase in revenue during his tenure over the facility.

    Dave is tenacious, interpersonally skilled, a good manager, and an inspiring public speaker. He had helped countless others regain their dignity and their lives before he moved on to enjoy his own success as the person he had become.

    Now Dave has moved on to the next chapter in his life as the Executive Director of The Other Side Academy, in Salt Lake City, a two-year Life Skills Academy similar to Delancey Street, where men and women can come to learn about honesty, accountability, integrity hard work, and self-respect. All the traits that will insulate them from a life like the one Dave had and enable them to become the kind of person Dave is today.

    Today we are talking with Mark Hugentobler. For 23 years, he was a successful high school basketball coach. However, after a turn of events, he was “sentenced” by his school board to spearhead the prison education program in the State Prison in Gunnison Utah. Like most people, Mark assumed the inmates were incorrigible derelicts and that the prison system was making great efforts to help rehabilitate these individuals to get back on their feet and into society. Boy was he wrong, on both accounts.Join Mark and BJ today as they do a deep dive into what the correctional system is really like and how he empowered inmates to help themselves and make huge strides towards change and recovery. “I have always believed that people are inherently good, and if given opportunity and choice, at some point in their life when they come to themselves and realize that they’re on a bad path and there’s another way to live, they will choose the better way. I’ve seen that countless times.”
