I grew up in a small town called Lancaster, Kentucky that is about 30 miles South of Lexington. It was in my seven years at the church that my heart was drawn toward serving older adults. My first full-time position serving older adults was in a community in Athens, Georgia. It was in Athens, that I met my future wife, Jackie, on my very first Sunday.
Jackie was a Kentucky girl herself, and one of my family members was her teacher, the world is a small place! I served seven years as Executive Director and the following 15 years as Vice President for Development raising funds for the further development of the community and benevolent care funds for the residents. I am blessed with an incredible family consisting of my wife, Jackie and our two sons and their families. We have a year old Westie dog named Heinz.
Following sports and playing golf are two things that I enjoy spending time doing as well. This of course involves, cheering the Kentucky Wildcats.
My wife, Jackie, and Nicholas Sparks are two of my favorite authors. We were not looking to leave our family in Kentucky and a faith-based not-for-profit community I helped to develop for 22 years, but God had a different plan.
I enjoy seeing Team Members grow and become all that God intended for them to be. It is very difficult to say good-bye to incredible team members, but when they do for professional growth, it makes me very proud.
