We take pride in the personal, compassionate service we provide to seniors and their families. Meet our Oasis team, your trusted partner for senior living and resources.
I am a Central Texas native that retired from retail pharmacy management in 2015. The father of 4 wonderful children and the grandfather of 2 amazing granddaughters. In 2008 my compassionate wife & I became caregivers for my mother as she was diagnosed with later on-set dementia. Even with years of experience in the senior care arena and senior living communities, I found it most difficult to navigate. I enjoy making a positive impact in the community by supporting families on their journey, offering education to seniors and supporting local senior-focused non-profits.
It is always a privilege to help families navigate during one of the most difficult periods of their lives. Our services are free to families, confidential, and always unbiased, using our Oasis IQ system and processes to support families as they plan their transitions. Whether they are staying in their homes with care or going to a supportive senior living community, seniors deserve to know about all of the resources available to them to help THEM make informed decisions and plans. My team upholds the highest ethical confidentiality standards as we work side by side with hospitals, physicians, community partners, and other resources to bring solutions to families to address their unique situation. One Call-Many Solutions, because the right place means everything.

For as long as I can remember I have held a great respect for seniors. My grandparents had a huge impact on me and growing up I spent more time at their home than I did at my own house. I've always had a strong desire to connect with and lift those around me just like I watched my grandpa do when I would work with him during the summers. As I raise my three kids with my wife, we make sure our kids get a lot of time with their grandparents so they can have the same strong love that I have for my grandparents. I have worked in health care in various rolls at hospitals and care centers since 2014. My favorite part about health care is the serving heart so many people have and the opportunity I have to serve families that are going through a difficult time. I love the work I am doing now to serve families as they are going through one of the most difficult times in their lives. When I graduated college in 2018, I wanted to find something where I could use the knowledge, I gained in health care and serve my community, I found that in Oasis Senior Advisors. I have the wonderful opportunity to be able to serve families and help them find the resources they will need to make the safest transition. I love that I can sit down with a family and help take a lot of the load they are carrying and finding answers to their questions. I love being an Oasis Senior Advisor Senior Living Specialist in Central Texas.
