The Kronos Project emerged from a shared question: Why do some people experience lasting change while others continue repeating the same patterns?

    For years, Jeff Hunsaker and Willie Davis explored that question from different perspectives and through different experiences. Their paths eventually converged around a common belief: meaningful transformation occurs when people identify and address the root causes influencing their lives.

     That belief became the foundation of Root-Cause Rehabilitation.

     Jeff Hunsaker has taken him into correctional facilities, faith communities, and rehabilitation initiatives throughout the United States and internationally. His experience includes leadership roles in prison ministry, faith-based programming, restorative justice, consulting, and training.

     Over the years, Jeff worked alongside incarcerated men who struggled with anger, addiction, trauma, poor decisions, damaged relationships, and hopelessness. He also witnessed something many people overlook: genuine transformation is possible.

     Those experiences convinced him that lasting change involves more than managing behavior. Real change requires helping individuals understand the deeper forces shaping their choices, beliefs, and actions.

     Jeff’s contribution to Kronos is grounded in decades of observing transformation from the inside out.

    Willie Davis’ criminal justice journey began inside the walls of the Ohio State Reformatory, now widely known as Shawshank Prison. His work later expanded to include juveniles, homeless populations, criminal justice programming, organizational development, and communication.

     Throughout his career, Willie has been fascinated by a simple question: How do people change?

     His search for answers led him to explore rehabilitation, human behavior, measurement, storytelling, and the role personal narratives play in shaping individual lives. As a writer, consultant, and co-founder of Right Time LLC, Willie has spent years examining how meaningful change can be encouraged, supported, and measured.

     Willie’s contribution to Kronos is the ability to translate complex rehabilitation concepts into practical ideas that people can understand, discuss, and apply.

     Why Kronos?

     Jeff and Willie approached rehabilitation from different directions, but both arrived at the same conclusion. Most interventions focus on symptoms. Most assessments identify needs. Most programs address behaviors.

     Yet many people continue to struggle because the underlying causes remain untouched. Kronos was created to explore a different possibility. What if rehabilitation began by identifying and addressing the root causes that drive human behavior?

     The Kronos Project, the Kronos Briefing Book, Kronos Choices, Kronos Workshop, and Kronos Prison Reads are all part of an ongoing effort to explore that question.

     We do not claim to have all the answers. But we believe better questions often lead to better outcomes.
