Mitchel Staheli has been in long-term recovery since November 2016 and serves as Finance Director for Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness (USARA). His recovery journey inspired in him a passion for helping others, and he credits USARA’s recovery support services with providing the foundation that made lasting recovery and a fulfilling career dedicated to service possible.

Mitchel earned a Master of Business Administration from Western Governors University and combines strategic financial leadership with a deep commitment to USARA’s mission. In his role as Finance Director, he has helped guide the organization’s financial growth while overseeing budgeting, grants management, accounting, financial reporting, audits, compliance, and organizational planning. He works closely with program and executive leadership to ensure resources are managed responsibly, allowing USARA to expand recovery support services across Utah while maintaining strong financial stewardship.

Before becoming Finance Director, Mitchel served on USARA’s Addiction Recovery Coalition (ARC) and later worked on the ARCHES team, giving him firsthand experience supporting individuals seeking recovery. That experience continues to shape his leadership by keeping the people behind the numbers at the center of every financial decision. He is passionate about building sustainable systems that strengthen recovery services and create lasting impact for individuals, families, and communities.

Outside of work, Mitchel enjoys spending time with his wife and children, camping, traveling, and exploring Utah’s outdoors. He also enjoys entrepreneurship, business development, and tackling home improvement projects, always looking for opportunities to learn, create, and solve complex problems.
