About Gary
Experience: 7 yrs
I am a strong advocate for senior care activities and believe that seniors are often not given the respect or understanding that they deserve and need. I am the founder of Osprey Village, LLC, a not-for-profit assisted living facility currently under development. I have an elderly mother and another family member with mild dementia, so I fully understand the issues that the senior and their loved ones can experience and need help with. Although I do not have years of paid experience to show, I have many years of loving and caring for others that have taught me to be a compassionate and thoughtful companion.

I have known Gary for at least 4 years and in that time I have come to not only appreciate his dedication to whatever task is at hand, but also to know that he is an intelligent, caring, and very honest person. With regards to care-giving, he sees each person not as a patient or client, but as a human being with a lifetime of knowledge and wisdom to offer those who take the time to listen. Gary's patience is one of his greatest strengths. I trust him with my home, my family, and my possessions. He is a person of faith and integrity and he lives the Golden Rule.
