Lifestyle Manager
I’m an artist with a passion for oil painting, specially creating portraits of people—they’re my favorite subject to capture. I also enjoy reading classic literature in my free time. A fun fact about me: I served as president of the Chi Omega Sorority during college, which helped shape my leadership skills and love for community.
What I enjoy most about working at Lakewood is the strong sense of connection—with both the residents' families and my fellow team members. It truly feels like a second home.
Community Relations Manager
With a background in sales and marketing, John brings a passion for building meaningful connections to the team. John is incredibly excited to partner with the Lakewood residents and their families to deliver exceptional service and support.
Outside of work, you can find John hitting the golf course, enjoying quality time with family, or exploring the outdoors with his Golden Retriever, Thor.
Maintenance Director
I enjoy fishing and kayaking whenever I can, and I also like working on motorcycles and playing video games.
What I appreciate most about working at Lakewood is spending time with the residents each day. Their involvement and support create meaningful connections that benefit us both.
Culinary Director
My name is Christopher Feldmann. I am a Culinary Professional with 23 years of experience leading Kitchen and Food and Beverage operations. I have a passion for hospitality and offering the best dining experience possible, which is what brought me to Lakewood because if anybody deserves a great dining experience, it is our elders. I enjoy being able to affect the lives of our residents and family members with food. Food is one of the great uniters the world over and good food can easily brighten anybody's day.
