Creating, transforming and sustaining senior living communities.
“With nearly 25 years of experience in architectural planning, design and construction, I maintain a personal passion for providing creative business-related solutions to our providers so they can thrive while serving the seniors in our communities with the highest quality of care.”
“I love collaborating with my clients in developing creative and innovative design solutions that both meet the needs of the residents they serve and set up their communities for long-term success.”
In my free time I enjoy traveling and getting outdoors. Some of my favorite activities include golfing, jogging, and hiking while mixing in some snowboarding trips with my family to help pass our long winters here!
“I developed a passion for senior living when my family would visit my grandma at a nursing home that was very institutional. I knew our elders deserved a better quality of life and dignity, so I started to learn about making nursing homes feel more like a residence. I want to be at the forefront of enhancing the lives of others for years to come.”
I would love to have dinner with Vince Lombardi. It would be a dream to pick his brain on leadership and how to motivate a team. I also would love to hear insight on who called the QB sneak in The Ice Bowl!
“My passion to serve older adults was ignited by my grandparents. For over 25 years I have been involved in the operation of senior living communities. I have personally experienced the impact a collaboratively designed living space has on the resident’s quality of life, staff satisfaction and operational outcomes.”
If I could have dinner with one person, I would choose my Bumpa (Grandpa) Al Baer. He passed away when I was young and shared the same passions I do–family, outdoors and musky fishing. I imagine my heart would be full and I’d learn a lot!
“I began working for Community Living Solutions immediately upon graduation and have spent my entire career in Senior Living Design. I enjoy getting to know each of our clients to understand their goals and the challenges they face daily. Every project is unique and requires excellence in communication, organization, and client-centered design solutions.”
Outside of the office you will find me coaching my kid’s sports teams, volunteering at church, and trying to enjoy the outdoors!
“The level of senior care experience at Community Living Solutions is second to none and has allowed me to bring my construction knowledge into the mix. Being able to work on a project from concept to occupancy brings the joy into what we do.”
In my free time, you will find me enjoying the peaceful sounds of nature. Going hunting, fishing or taking a stroll in the woods is how I unwind.
