Jeffrey Allred
Program Staff
My name is Jeffrey Allred, and I’m living proof that your past doesn’t have to dictate your future.
I spent 25 years as a drug addict, trapped in a cycle of self-destruction, incarceration, and broken promises. I lost nearly everything—family, freedom, and faith in myself. But even in the darkest places, I still believed that change was possible. It wasn’t easy, and it didn’t happen overnight, but I made the decision to fight for redemption.
That decision led me to The Other Side Academy, where I began to rebuild my life from the ground up. Through discipline, honesty, and the power of community, I found purpose again. Over four years working with the Academy’s moving company, I developed strong leadership skills, learned the value of hard work, and found the confidence to step up and help others do the same.
Today, I’m honored to work at The Other Side Academy, helping men and women just like me discover that it’s never too late to change. My life is now grounded in gratitude, humility, and service. I don’t take a single day for granted, and I know that every person who walks through our doors has the same potential for transformation.
I’m not here because I was lucky—I’m here because someone believed in me until I could believe in myself. Now, it’s my mission to pay that forward.
