The people behind the program

Built by men in recovery.

Many of our staff have walked the road to recovery themselves. Every member of this team chose this work because they know what it costs — and what it gives back.

  • Tyson Dixon — Chief Executive Officer, Renaissance Ranch

    Tyson Dixon

    Chief Executive Officer

    Tyson oversees Renaissance both on a client level and staff level, supporting each individual in recovery and managing the overall needs of the company. Tyson has firsthand experience recovering from the disease of addiction and went through Renaissance Ranch in 2008 after years of living in the darkness addiction creates.

    Chief Operating Officer

    Preston is a powerful leader in the Renaissance Ranch family with unrelenting compassion for those whose lives are impacted by the disease of addiction. He has first-hand experience and can empathize directly with clients, as he was once in their shoes. With many years of experience in sobriety combined with high-level management, his honesty, integrity, and brotherly kindness reflect both his values and the treatment approach of Renaissance Ranch.

  • Rick Dixon — Chairman, Renaissance Ranch

    Rick Dixon

    Chairman

    Rick brings decades of business leadership to Renaissance Ranch, but his heart is with families. Having watched his own sons battle addiction, he knows firsthand how the disease reaches far beyond the person in recovery — it touches everyone who loves them. Today he makes it his personal mission to reach out to every family who wants to be part of a loved one's recovery: he calls them himself, welcomes them into family group, and becomes a steady source of support — someone who will truly listen, hear them, and walk alongside them as they begin their own healing.

  • Christine Dixon — Family Program Director, Renaissance Ranch

    Christine Dixon, LMFT

    Family Program Director

    As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Christine directs the Whole Family Program — and finds her deepest fulfillment carrying its mission forward. She helps families heal together and oversees the facilitators who lead each family class. It's work she understands from the inside: she lived it when her own two sons faced addiction, and guiding families through that same valley has become part of who she is.
