While pursuing his Masters degree, Mr. Holt worked as a case manager and created a Representative Payeeship office for Pikes Peak Mental Health Center in Colorado Springs.

Upon completion of his Masters degree in 1997, Mr. Holt moved to El Paso, joining a number of relatives who were born and raised in the Sun City.

Mr. Holt's time working in the field of mental health as well as his first hand experience with friends and family whose lives were impacted by mental illness led to his interest in volunteering with EPMHMR.
