His strengths in building relationships and identifying the right person for the right job has led to the placement of individuals in key leadership positions for Life Time. For Efonda, making those connections to help his colleagues excel has also guided his team in recruiting some of the top talent in the country.

With certification as an Executive Coach through Stakeholder Centered Coaching, SCC, Efonda also has significant experience in leadership growth, sales training and coaching, and public speaking. In 2020, he joined Life Time’s Inclusion Council as a founding member, working on national partnerships to align with the company’s values in inclusion, equity and diversity to create healthy and welcoming spaces for all. With credentials in Diversity and Inclusion Training from Ashton College as well as his experience in the field, Efonda offers his councilmembers an invaluable perspective and mentorship. In addition to his work with Life Time, Efonda also has lent his talents to nonprofit boards, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and as a founding board member of both The Sanneh Foundation and Literacy Matters, a group that aims to making reading accessible to underserved students in grades 1 through 3. As a champion of excellence in customer service and intentional, thoughtful care of clients, Efonda looks forward to his role with the Asbury Communities and the contributions he can make in continuing its superior facilities and programs in senior care. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from the University of Northern Iowa, where he also was an All-American wrestler.
