Anton Schumann
Hawks Nest Founder & Owner
I am the founder and owner/operator of Hawks Nest House. I have been in recovery since 2002. Six years ago, my recovery path led me to open this facility. Hawks Nest House was born out of the darkness; it would not exist if I had not hit bottom from active addiction. When I was fully defeated and surrendered, I became willing to abstain and follow instructions. With the help of treatment centers, sponsors, 12-step programs, amazing therapists, my two incredible sons, friends in recovery, long-suffering loved ones, and a strong and supportive family, I would not have survived.
I was born in Greece and then lived in Austria, growing up speaking German and English. When I was 10, we moved to the U.S., and I've lived in several places, but Nashville has been my home since 1997. I am comfortable in chaos and have a diverse background. Some noteworthy past experiences include being a certified Florida firefighter and EMT, a tech at a trauma center, having 10 years of experience in the hotel and restaurant business, and a career in sales and property management. I have also raised two teenage sons!
After spending years lost in active addiction, I finally hit bottom, which led me to a recovery program that eventually became the focal point of my life. I soon learned that we cannot keep something we do not give away. My life was saved by the recovery process therefore it’s an easy choice to have a small part in possibly saving another man’s life.
I did not choose addiction; it chose me. In active addiction, I had no choice, so today I choose recovery every day. I am committed to staying sober and living a life of recovery alongside the residents. My heart, hands, and feet are at Hawks Nest House.
