Marc’s calling to senior living began in 1991 during a volunteer experience that instilled a passion for ensuring excellence in serving seniors. Working with some of the nation’s leading health care companies provided valuable experience in startup, turnaround, sales, and operations management. As VP of Sales and Marketing, Marc identified opportunities for improved performance and launched reorganization strategies resulting in explosive census growth during times of industry-wide occupancy decline.
As a first time COO, then CEO of a regional operating company, Marc focused efforts on cultivating Servant Leaders. Inspiring trust, his teams enjoyed dramatic improvements in Net Operating Income, achieved record occupancy levels, and won numerous national awards for excellence. He was honored to receive the Servant Leadership Award recognizing his contributions in driving culture change across the company.
Marc brings to Watercrest Senior Living Group more than 20 years of accomplishment in acute care, long-term residential, and outpatient settings. Leading a team of well-established industry experts in design, development, and operations of senior living communities, Watercrest’s new community pipeline is approaching $500 million and 30 communities throughout the southeast. When asked what he believes is the key to success, Marc is quick to say, “Our people.” Adding… "Our collective values will determine the extent to which our collective vision is realized.”
