About Dave

For the past several years, I have worked in senior living communities. I am intimately familiar with how they work, and why they work, and sometimes, why they don't work.  I have met residents and their families. And I've met residents who have become like family to me. I've participated in the unique, personal journeys of this unique chapter of life. 

    As such, I get it. I understand the questions and the processes, and the emotions involved in making some challenging decisions. I've sat in these rooms and I've had these conversations. One thing that has become very clear to me is that having some support and guidance can be tremendously useful. Having an advocate to help navigate these uncertain waters eases the burden of the unknown. With information and options and empathy, my goal is always to make lives better, and the process easier and clearer, all leading towards a decision that feels right, or as close as we can get. 

    Through my ever-growing years, I've worked in real estate, owned businesses, volunteered for many community organizations, and served residents well in senior living communities. I am a writer and a thinker and a feeler. I have self-published two books, and I write a weekly column for my local online newspapers. I have two kids that I haven't screwed up too bad, as they are both strong, bright, independent, and KIND human beings. I'm most proud of this. 

    So, that's my story- or some of it- the story always bigger and more complicated than most pages can hold. But, also, pretty nice. If your story involves exploring some next steps into senior living, and you need some help, please feel free to contact me. I am truly at your service.  -Dave
