Our Leadership Team
Lisa
Executive Director
Lisa has been in the healthcare field for close to 20 years and comes from a long line of nurses. In her late 30s, Lisa went back to school to get her nursing degree. She had plans to be a pediatric nurse but after doing her rounds in geriatrics she quickly learned where her heart was! Lisa worked in skilled nursing for a short stint but found her calling in assisted living. Spring Park Assisted Living opened in 2014 and she was part of the opening team. She started as the Wellness Director and then became the Executive Director and was here from 2014 to 2018. She is so excited to be back at Spring Park and be a part of this wonderful community.
Ryan
Sales & Marketing Director
Ryan has been in the therapy field for the past 15 years, as a Physical Therapy Assistant as well as a Director of Therapy and Operations. Although he has worked in a variety of settings, he found that geriatrics was his passion. Ryan loves working with interdisciplinary teams for common goals and saw that his work in business development and marketing could be utilized for his passion for the geriatric population. “I am excited for the opportunity to work with the families in the Travelers Rest area and surrounding communities, along with everyone at Spring Park, to give our residents the best of next adventures.”
Ryan and Brandi have been married for 16 years and reside in Powdersville. They have two children, Peyton and Cooper. They also have two very personable pups, Bentley and Harley.
Ryan is very excited to be joining the Spring Park team and is expecting fantastic things to happen!
