Some people get into sales for career opportunities. Mike Rasmussen got into it because of Grandma.
It started on their first visit to a senior community. “She was one of those ‘I'm never leaving my house’ people,” he explains, “and I held out little hope when my mom asked me to tag along on the visit.”
They took a tour of the grounds and got to meet some residents and associates. At the end, his grandmother said she could definitely see herself living here. “I about fell over in my chair,” says Mike.
Mike thanked the community relations associate for what she helped accomplish for his family. “She couldn’t stop talking about how fulfilling her job was,” says Mike, who was in pharmaceutical sales at the time. “I started looking the next day for positions in the senior industry.”
It’s been almost 13 years since Mike joined us at Rose Tree Place. He happily stays involved in daily life, and residents rave about his monthly baseball class through Watermark University. He’s met wonderful people here, many of them grandmothers, each of them sharing a wisdom and perspective that help fulfill him every day.
