Volunteer Board Member

Dan serves as our current treasurer and has been a board member for nearly 10 years. After a short stint at the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation), Dan brings 22 years of experience as a Commercial Real Estate Broker as Vice President of one of the states leading brokerage firms before opening his own firm. Dan currently works at Milestone Recovery, is a Recovery Coach, CADC candidate and will be pursuing his LCSW this fall.
As a person in recovery, Dan understands the chaos caused by drug use and the impact addiction has on family and loved ones. He knows connection is the antidote to this disease and recovery is not exclusive to those with substance use disorder. Dan values meeting people where they dream with love, empathy and compassion.
In his spare time, Dan enjoys spending time with his daughter Mary, her puppy Poppy, and his son Joe. Dan is an active member of the recovery community and fully enjoys all that it has to offer. He also enjoys skiing, golfing and spending time with loved ones.

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.

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.
