Keith Crownover
President
After relocating to the Boise Area in 2003, following 37 years of public school in California as an educator, I feel most fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with both my daughters, Joy and Amy, in the public schools in Meridian, Idaho, and subsequently in our agency. The establishment of A New Leaf, as a family owned and operated agency, is fulfilling a dream of our family, to create and develop an institution that would provide quality caring services to the participants and families to our surrounding communities. Our agency has been blessed to have so many employees who are committed to making a difference in the lives of the participants to whom we are able to offer services. My “retirement” continues to be “pushed out”, as I am having such a rewarding time seeking to provide the best environment and services for the special needs population of Treasure Valley. It is our mission and commitment to provide high standards and ethics in the services we provide and to our employees.

Administrator
I have been blessed with working in the Human Services and Education fields since 1996. I would like to thank our staff, families, and participants who are and have been a part of our “agency family” in contributing to our growth and success. I reside in Boise with my husband and two children. I enjoy spending time with my family just "hanging-out" and watching movies.

Matt Wright
Accounting
Matthew Wright, first of my name, derived from a long heritage spanning via Chicago to Ireland. In most aspects of my life, I like to go by my outlandish pseudonym “Matt”. I have recently started an assistant accounting position at A New Leaf Inc. I graduated from The Ambrose School, magna cum laude, and plan on pursuing tertiary education. Originally from Sunny San Diego, I ironically enjoy skiing and other winter sports. I love what Boise has to offer in terms of outdoor recreation and exquisite downtown dining. I look forward to imminent adventures inside and outside of the workplace; something fitting for someone who has moved over 10 times.
