By 2012, Ginlack was working as a counselor in human services. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Upper Iowa University and then his masters degree in social work from Loyola, Chicago. He passed various national exams and became a licensed psychotherapist. He also became the director of outpatient programs for Milwaukee County. But now, Ginlack is executive director of Serenity Inns, a drug treatment center for men in recovery. Supported by Milwaukee’s top leaders, he was celebrating the ribbon cutting of the new building built on a vacant lot 15 blocks east from where he once sold drugs as a younger man.
Located on 28th and Brown, Serenity Inns was born out of concern from leaders in five Lutheran congregations situated in the geographical epicenter of a drug trafficking area in the central city.
