🌿Meet the amazing people behind the scenes! In our Staff Spotlight series, we’re highlighting the incredible team members who make everything happen. This month we have the AMAZING Max Simpkins!

Question 1: What inspired you to become a CBT?
My experience working in EMS and as a camp counselor motivated me to pursue a path where I can support children in developing important behavioral skills. EMS taught me to stay calm under pressure and provide care in challenging situations, while counseling gave me the opportunity to guide kids in building social and behavioral strengths.

Question 2: What’s one accomplishment you’re especially proud of?
I solo backed packed 22 countries in Europe

Question 3: What brought you to ETS?
Honestly, it came down to a bit of luck and a job application I stumbled upon on Indeed.

Here is a few words from one of our staff members:
Max is a truly wonderful BT who I had the pleasure of working with when he first started at ETS. Max has a really calming presence and is great at building relationships with kids and adults. He works really well as part of a team and jumps right in when something unexpected happens. I also appreciate his sense of humor.

Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about our team! Stay tuned for more Staff Spotlights!😊
