Meet Our Staff

My name is Jamil Syed. I am the CEO and Founder of Shahida K Syed Enterprises. I am 6 years sober after almost losing my life to alcoholism. After many dark years my childhood friend and I set out with a dream to help others achieve lifelong sobriety. Our goal is to provide people with a clean, safe, and ethical environment to better their lives. We want to give others a space to work on their mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Shahida’s Place can change many lives, including yours.

My name is Joel Calderon. I am the Co-founder of Shahdia’s Place. I’ve been born, raised and educated in Southern California so my heart is here in the south land. I’m passionate about my community and the people in it. Making a positive change towards alcoholism, drug addiction and mental health is my prerogative to insure SoCal is safe for generations to come.
