He joined our community originally for the “Good Neighbor” position in the Smith Health Center. The Good Neighbor is a resident funded position that seeks to provide companionship and individualized social care to residents in skilled nursing. Afterwards, he served as Admissions Coordinator within the same building. Michael comes from a background in food and beverage management but left his field to seek a career in faith-based, non-profit work.
Michael is grateful for the opportunities he has been given to serve the residents at the Samarkand. He loves making connections with residents, helping to provide support through challenges, and seeing residents live their best lives! He is a third-generation Santa Barbara native and is married with two children. In his free time, he enjoys playing music and is working toward his master’s degree in Eastern Orthodox Christian Theology.
At Covenant Living, our residents aren’t just neighbors; they are individuals with incredible life journeys that continue to inspire us every day.
That’s why we’re kicking off #FeatureFriday – a weekly look into the lives of our amazing community. This week, we’re sitting down with Joan, who shared what it was like to serve at the highest level. From being present for President Reagan’s historic ""Tear down this wall"" speech to accompanying First Ladies on Broadway outings, Joan’s career in healthcare for our nation’s leaders is truly one for the books!
We are so honored that Joan chooses to call our community home. Click the video below to hear her favorite memories from the White House and see the mementos she still prizes today. ... See MoreSee Less
