Nick Pefanis


Nick Pefanis is an Arizona Native that has spent the last decade providing hope and assistance to families seeking help for loved ones who are struggling with substance use. Nick has experience working for numerous substance use treatment programs around the country in various positions.

Nick’s involvement in helping families with substance abuse issues stems from his own recovery process which started in 2010. He attended a treatment program that allowed him to develop the skills to navigate life substance-free and rebuild his family relationships in a positive and meaningful way.

Nick is grateful for his experience in recovery and understands firsthand how difficult the early recovery process can be. He is now a part of the Fingerprints Foundation because he firmly believes in their mission to provide support to his community and help families who are struggling with substance use.
