I am proud to join the Evergreen Estates team as the Executive Director. Prior to joining Evergreen Estates, I served as the Executive Director of a Personal Care Home in Berks County as well as holding leadership roles in operations. I am passionate about senior living and memory support care. Previously I led the implementation of a memory care program focused on providing residents the support needed to maintain their independence and quality of life. I enjoy getting to know residents and learning their story. I focus on building strong resident and family relationships as well as supporting a team approach to resident care. Before working in senior living, I spent 25 years in various leadership roles in consumer finance. I reside in York County with my wife Tammy of 19 years. When I am not at work I enjoy the outdoors, traveling, photography, history and cars.

I have lived in Lancaster County all my life. For the past 12 years, I have worked in Personal Care/Assisted Living, recently earning my LPN credential. I love the geriatric community.

What I’ve enjoyed most about being at Evergreen Estates for the past 3 years, is the feeling of “family,” which is portrayed by the residents, their families and co-workers. Residents and staff being are warm and welcoming daily. They truly care about one another through hardships we face each day. We also celebrating each other’s joyful times, we here at Evergreen really stick together.

I look at everyday as a way of learning and finding ways to make a difference. God has blessed me with 3 beautiful children, who have always been my inspiration and have spent most of their lives around my line of work. I also have 3 wonderful step-children who have recently entered my life that I hold very close to my heart. The value of “family” is an important aspect my husband Luis and I share, so personally it has been awesome to be able to work with family here at Evergreen!

Einstein said of age that we should “never cease to stand like great children before the mystery into which we are born”.   I believe that keeping that creative spark and childlike wonder in our hearts helps us thrive no matter what age we are.  From my time in EMS and working at LGH with critically ill patients, to my time as the event coordinator for a local charity, I have always had a passion for our senior population.  Being at Evergreen Estates, I am honored to have the ability to keep those creative processes going with our residents.  I look forward to all the events, programs and activities that I know we will have fun doing together.  I’m excited to bring out our artistic side and be part of the Evergreen family.

As Business Office Manager, my main goal is to keep residents and their families at ease knowing that their finances and records are being taken care of in a timely and accurate manner. Evergreen Estates is a very warm and welcoming place! I enjoy spending my days alongside the residents and staff.

I am originally from Tacoma, Washington. I found my way back to Pennsylvania recently, where my father had been stationed years ago with while in the military. I have degrees in Business Administration and accounting.

I have enjoyed working in the culinary industry for the past 20 years. Growing up in the military, I had the privilege to travel the United States, and indulge and enjoy the local dishes. This love of food drive me into kitchen, to recreate some of my favorite dishes. For the past 6 years, I have enjoyed serving the senior community. My background includes working Marriot, Bob Evans, Hershey Resorts, Country Meadows, and Signature Senior Living. I currently live in Hershey, Pa, with my wife Kim and two sons. My philosophy is, “One meal will make a difference”, and I live by it.
