Oliver Bradeen
Volunteer Board Member

  • Oliver Bradeen, LCPC (he/him)

    Oliver joined the AGAPE board in June of 2022. He was drawn to serve on the board because he saw the direct impact of the Emergency Fund on the clients he served in the community, and is aligned with the values AGAPE represents. Oliver was born and raised in Mid-Coast Maine, he attended Northeastern University in Boston for his degree in psychology, and then returned to Maine to get his Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from USM. Oliver has been a licensed Clinician since 2014. He was Portland’s first Substance Use Disorder Liaison, for the Portland Police Department; a role where a civilian would respond with law enforcement and EMS to overdoses in an attempt to offer resources and compassion, instead of incarceration and punishment. Oliver also spent time as the Executive Director of Milestone Recovery in Portland, where he focused on efforts to expand detox capacity in the state of Maine. Currently, Oliver runs an employee wellness program for the Portland Fire Department that directly serves the members of the department to build resilience and provide low barrier clinical treatment. Oliver also provides Technical Assistance to the State’s OPTIONS program. Oliver is a resident of Falmouth, ME where he lives with his wife, Rachel, and his two young sons, Finn and Max.

Mark Keller
Volunteer Board Member

  • Mark joined the board as a volunteer member in February of 2025. Serving on the board is a reflection of his commitment to the recovery community and to the Greater Portland area as a whole. Mark has seen first hand the devastating effects of the opioid crisis through the lens of law enforcement which he has given over twenty years of service to the City of Portland. He recognizes harms of a system that so often does not treat the root cause of substance use and abuse, and advocates for harm reduction and policy that treats substance use and abuse as a public health issue. Being in recovery himself for over eight years, Mark has found clarity and growth from learning about the disease that afflicts so many, himself, and those who are close to him.

    A native son of Portland, Mark attended Portland Schools. He graduated from University of Maine at Orono with a bachelor's degree in Public Management. After a near 20 hiatus, Mark returned to school and recently graduated from USM’s Muskie School of Public Service with a masters degree in Public Policy and Management. 

    One of Mark’s proudest moments came in October 2023 when Maine became the first state in the nation to pass the Survivor Model, often called the Nordic Model in Europe, which decriminalized the act of engaging in prostitution. Mark was the primary mover of the bill and worked with a small coalition to enact the law. Mark recognized through his experiences working with exploited individuals that those afflicted all too often harmed by criminal laws and sanctions. Through his personal experiences and newly earned degree, he looks forward to advocating for policy driven, and compassionate based solutions for those afflicted by substance abuse.

Kevin Mannix
Volunteer Board Member

  • Best known throughout Maine as a beloved, long-time weatherman for WCSH 6, Kevin brings both lived experience and a 45 year television and radio broadcasting career to the work of Agape and was honored to be asked to become a board member. Kevin deeply understands the stigma and shame surrounding mental health and substance use.

    In response to his book, Weathering Shame, he traveled the state sharing his personal story and holding community conversations recognizing the barriers shame and stigma may create in asking for and accessing support. Kevin was surprised to find how many people identified with his experience, especially the men he met who felt encouraged to share their story for the first time. He continues to hear from people who have sought support and treatment and is amazed when folks give credit for saving their lives.

    Kevin recognizes the need for services and treatment to be available at the moment someone is asking for help and provided without stigma and judgment, in a dignified, non-shaming way and looks forward to continuing to create change in our community.

Steve Sewall
Volunteer Board Member

  • he/him

    Out of college, I wanted to follow my major of Photography and Anthropology documenting contemporary culture. Instead, I took an opportunity to restore and captain a boat to sail around the world. Upon returning and needing to support my family, I returned to work as a woodworker doing historic restoration. After a number of years, I started my own company as a custom home builder. During that time I met Stephen Andrew and was introduced to Agape. We collaborated to establish the Men's Resource Center in Portland, Maine where we held peer-led groups for men struggling with anger and violence. When Stephen Andrew called to ask me to join the Agape board I was eager to be involved again and continue the work towards creating compassionate communities.
