I love people and get recharged by being with people. I like to make them laugh and love hearing their stories! I also really enjoy technology and problem solving – puzzles, troubleshooting and fixing things. I began my career serving the US Navy before entering corporate America.  Today, I use the skills I learned in the Navy and Corporate America – combined with my entrepreneurial nature, to help families care for their loved ones.

My early career filled my desire to serve our country, see the world and widen my knowledge of electronics. I joined the Navy and volunteered for the submarine service. I was proud to have served, built life-long friendships and had great adventures! I have also held both lay and pastoral positions at several churches. I have a heart for ministry, and have always been involved in training and working with people in search of answers. My entire career led me to where I am today.

My wife Juli, had been working in the senior housing industry. Her heart and passion was helping seniors and their families directly. In 2013, we started Senior Care Consultants and it has been amazing. With Juli, I’m able to combine my joy for ministry and love of teaching, with a passion to serve others through Senior Care Consultants. It’s a win-win, Juli and I get to do what we love, and we get to do it together. It is so fulfilling because we educate people and help them walk through, and navigate, one of the most difficult time in their lives. We have met some of the most amazing people, and have had the opportunity to laugh, cry and pray with them – but most of all, we get to know them!

I am a problem solver, and a natural matchmaker. I have been in the placement business for over twenty-five years. I worked in the recruiting industry helping local businesses find great employees. In 2008, I was ready for a change and knew I wanted to continue my career path but was seeking something more meaningful. I started working in an assisted living community and fell in love with seniors and their families. It was a natural fit. I was able to utilize the wonderful training and experience I gained in the placement industry to help families find solutions that would keep their loved ones safe without compromising their quality of life. I had a fantastic mentor who trained me in this industry. I worked for two referral agencies, but wanted to start my own so I could spend more time focused on the families I served without sales quotas. This is how Senior Care Consultants came to be!

My husband Frank would listen to my stories about the families I was helping and was ready to leave the corporate world where he was a technical trainer for many years. In 2013 we started Senior Care Consultants and never looked back. We are grateful that we get to work together and walk with families HAND IN HAND in this very daunting time in their lives. It is very heartbreaking at times, but also so fulfilling to know that we are making a difference.
