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.
