The People Behind C8

Meet the Founders

Two paths, one mission. Building a community of professionals in recovery, all leveling up together.

Jarod Thornton
DV8 Foundation Alumnus • Founder, Adopt the Web

DV8 Foundation's second chance employment model changed my life. With 15+ years in web development and business consulting, I founded Adopt the Web in 2010. That foundation is the reason I am able to show up today as a dad, a business owner, and someone involved in my community. Now I want to extend that same model into community outreach and professional reintegration.

Luke Touchton
Hope Center Graduate • Community Outreach

I completed the Hope Center program several years ago, and it changed the trajectory of my life. Since then, I have rebuilt my life in Lexington, started my own business, and discovered a passion for helping others on their recovery journey. Once consistent sobriety is established, the real work begins—leveling up in your community, building skills, and creating a sustainable path forward.

Working Together

Now we are building something together: a community of professionals, distributors, connectors, supporters, coders, and community advocates—all in recovery, all stepping up to the next level. C8 is our vehicle for this, and we are ready to push it forward.
