Derek Price is CEO of the famed Arizona mental health treatment center Sierra Tucson. A former National Football League tight end who played with the Detroit Lions until his career was cut short by a severe neck injury, Price has also served as CEO of Desert Hope Treatment Center in Las Vegas. As a former professional athlete, Price has witnessed first-hand the toll that depression, anxiety, and trauma can have on people who, from the outside, appear to have it all.
After participating in the Alcatraz Open Water Swim Race, CrossFit Competitions and an Ironman Triathlon, Derek enrolled in a Navy SEAL Hell Week —Â during which he swam the English Channel with 25 other Navy SEALs to help raise $500,000 for charities on the anniversary of D-Day.
