Bryan J. Marks
Bryan J. Marks joins Cardinal Recovery as Executive Director with over 20 years of experience leading and transforming organizations within the healthcare and nonprofit sectors. A results-oriented leader, Bryan has a proven track record of streamlining complex operations, maximizing organizational impact, and cultivating high-performing teams dedicated to human services.
Throughout his career, Bryan has served in pivotal leadership roles, including Executive Director and COO for prominent organizations across the country and internationally. His expertise is backed by a deep consultative background, having guided major health networks, hospitals, and treatment centers through licensing, marketing, and strategic initiatives. Having personally toured and evaluated hundreds of treatment facilities worldwide, Bryan possesses a rare, global perspective on clinical excellence and best practices in patient care.
Bryan’s leadership is defined by a passion for building communities, both big and small. This drive is fueled by his own journey as a father of three and a survivor of both cancer and a heart attack, experiences that instill a profound empathy and urgency in his work within the recovery space.
Outside of his professional life, Bryan is a lifelong learner and an avid traveler who enjoys experiencing new foods and cultures. He is a Certified Kaizen Facilitator and a Practical Project Manager who remains committed to personal growth, fitness, and fostering environments where individuals and organizations can thrive.
Why Cardinal for me: "It often comes down to three pillars: the people, the process, and the supporting partners. While that may sound simple, it was the exceptional team at Cardinal Recovery and the robust support of Luna Health that truly drew me to this role. I am honored to lead a dedicated group of professionals who invest their full selves into the service of others.
At Cardinal, the promise of a new beginning is more than just a goal; it is a reality evident in every staff interaction and throughout our facility. I believe our curriculum is among the most ethically sound in the industry while being person-centered, research-backed, and truly 'lived in.' It provides a profound opportunity for individuals to explore their inner worlds and make the informed, supported decisions necessary for lasting, positive outcomes in their lives." -
Mary Hughes, LCAC-A
Mary Hughes has a passion for recovery. Over the years, she has seen the transformation that recovery can bring into the lives of those it touches. Prior to choosing the recovery world as her career path, she walked this journey with many people through a 12-step program and as a volunteer at Indiana Women's Prison, Fairbanks Recovery Center, and through working with homeless clients at Interfaith Hospitality Network. Inspired to share her experience in a more impactful way, Mary returned to school and earned her Master of Arts degree from Indiana Wesleyan in Addiction Counseling. She proceeded to obtain her license from the state of Indiana as a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor.
While in school she served as an intern at Progress House, a recovery residence in Indianapolis for 100 men, and was later hired as a full-time employee. She continued her work with the criminal justice population when she became part of the team at Addiction Care Interventions in Franklin, Indiana. When Addiction Care joined forces with Cardinal Recovery, Mary welcomed the additional services and commitment to quality care that Cardinal was able to provide.
Mary has no doubt that sobriety is available to anyone who is willing to work for it.
