Michael Bardelmeier

Michael grew up in Northern California where he developed an adventurous spirit and a love for the outdoors. He began racing stock cars at the young age of fifteen and later jumped out of a perfectly good airplane twice before setting out to hike the Grand Canyon from one rim to the other in a single day.

Michael started his career leasing and managing apartment communities in San Jose, CA and has lived and worked in many cities throughout the country including Phoenix, Kansas City, Seattle, Chicago, and Dallas. In 2009, he discovered senior living and was inspired by the incredible lives and experiences of the many residents, and the selfless dedication of caring team members. In the last ten years, he has directed as many as 68 communities as Vice President of Operations for two large national senior living providers.

Today, Michael lives in Huntington Beach, CA with Julie, his wife of 20 years and their two cats, Peyton & Hobie. They enjoy traveling and exploring new places and spending as much time as possible with Miichaels 90 year old grandmother,

who still lives on her own and has been one of the most influential people in his life.
