What Success Looks Like to Me: Every day, we strive to make life just a little better for our residents and team members.

What I Look for in a Leader: Someone who is deeply mission focused and genuinely enjoys being part of a collaborative team

What Would Surprise Someone to Learn About Me: I have visited Walt Disney World nearly 30 times, which has given me a deep appreciation for the impact of thoughtful, consistent service.

Outside of Work You’ll Find Me: Spending time with my grandchildren is one of my greatest joys, and it reminds me of the importance of creating meaningful moments with the people we care about most.

A Cleveland Spot I Recommend: One of my favorite places to relax and enjoy a great meal is The Oak Barrel.

If I Could Star in a TV Show or Movie: I would love the opportunity to star as Michael Scott in The Office — bringing humor, heart and just the right amount of awkward charm to the role.
