It is our pleasure to recognize Butch Davidson in this month’s Employee Spotlight! Butch recently celebrated his 20-year work anniversary at CVI.

Butch works in a Supported Living home with individuals with varying interests and goals. He brings his large personality and enthusiasm to everything he does! Butch provides each person he supports with opportunities to grow and have fun and is an excellent member of the team.

In the 20 years he has worked for CVI, 18 years have been in the same Supported Living house. He has been a consistent advocate and steady fixture for the individuals living there. He assisted them through the Campfire and was a constant source of empathy and stability in an evolving and unknown time. His ability to navigate this time period for CVI will forever be appreciated.

When Butch is not at work, he likes to spend his time boating, fishing, and working out. He describes himself as an outdoorsy kinda guy.

Thank you Butch!
