Helping others achieve their full potential has been the driving force behind Mark’s journey through the senior care industry. 

With a degree in Organizational Communication from Bellevue University and more than two decades of experience in the senior living and home care industries, Mark has been a catalyst for innovation – introducing pioneering programs and services that have positively disrupted the senior care landscape. His forward-thinking approach, coupled with his commitment to pursue the genuine success of others, has fueled the impressive growth of the HomeCare Advocacy Network. 

A recognized leader, Mark is often invited to share his insight and expertise at industry seminars and conferences. He is also very invested in his community and engaged with several organizations and initiatives – always advocating for seniors and working to truly make a difference in the lives of others.

Most importantly, Mark is a devoted family man. He and wife Sierra have four kids (Kennedy, Isaac, Lincoln and Regan) and two dogs (Rocky and Creed) – all named by Sierra. When he has spare time, he loves hanging out with his wife and kids, traveling, ATV-ing, boating and bowling.

Together, Mark and his family are grateful for the opportunity to work in a purpose driven industry where people are the greatest assets.

As Director of Operations, Sierra says her primary responsibility is “taking Mark’s crazy ideas and making them a reality”. 

A graduate of Iowa State University, she has strong organizational skills and keen attention to detail – which she uses to streamline processes and optimize efficiency. She also works closely with HomeCare Advocacy Network franchise teams to implement best practices and ensure that all aspects of the business are aligned with industry standards and regulatory requirements. 

Through personal and professional experience, Sierra understands the power of compassionate caregiving and the growing need for dedicated caregivers. She is committed to creating a culture of kindness, collaboration, respect and continuous growth – an environment that elevates the privilege of caregiving while ensuring all clients receive the exceptional care they deserve.

In addition to her day-to-day responsibilities, Sierra helped develop the Family and Friends Dementia Education class – a class inspired by her family’s experience caring for her step-mom who had early onset Alzheimer’s disease. The free, two-hour session is designed to help people better understand the disease and learn ways to cope with its challenges.

Sierra and Mark have four children – Kennedy, Isaac, Lincoln and Regan. She enjoys attending her children’s sporting events, traveling, snorkeling, watching Marvel movies with her sons and old mystery shows, like Columbo and Murder She Wrote, with her daughter.

Story-telling is in Debbie’s blood. She inherited the gift from her beloved Gram, who lived an amazing 102 years. She kept a daily diary for more than 90 of those years and pulled from those diaries to author two books about her life while in her 80s and 90s.

Inspired by her Gram and equipped with her old typewriter, Debbie graduated from the University of Missouri School of Journalism and began a career in television news – developing and sharing stories in cities across the country. She eventually transitioned to public relations where, for the past 30 years, she has excelled in crafting compelling content that elevates brand awareness and drives business growth.

Debbie’s strategic mindset and creative flair help her implement innovating marketing initiatives that resonate with target audiences. At the HomeCare Advocacy Network, she leverages various channels, including digital marketing, social media and traditional media, to deliver impactful messaging that engages clients, caregivers, investors and franchisees.
