"The principles we live by are honesty, integrity and grace which provide a guiding light in all aspects of HSBP."

What is your favorite sports team?

My favorite sports team is the Dallas Stars. I became a hockey fan going to minor league games in the late 70s with my father in Fort Worth. I also remember the day Team USA beat the USSR in 1980. The game was shown on tape delay. My dad asked me if I wanted to know who won. I said don’t tell me. I am glad I held out.

What is your most memorable game experience?

2006 was a quite a year for me. I went to the Rose Bowl to see Texas win the national championship over USC. I also attended the World Cup Final in Berlin between Italy and France. Italy won on penalty kicks.

What is one place in this world you will never tire out from visiting and/or living and why?

I am a beach person with a strong preference for southern California beaches. I have great memories and continue to make them with my son, Ben, whether it is playing catch with a baseball, football, or lacrosse ball on the beach.

What do you see as HSBP’s impact on the seniors housing industry?

I hope we continue to push the envelope of where seniors housing can go which began with our founder, Craig Spaulding. We were at the forefront of stand-alone memory care development in the late 1990s and early 2000s in partnership with JEA Senior Living. More recently, we developed large rental CCRC campuses in Texas with Integrated Senior Living. Today, we are pushing boundaries of luxury senior living in coastal gateway cities with Momentum Senior Living.

Describe why the HSB culture is so important to you.

A strong corporate culture significantly increases employee engagement and satisfaction. We are always striving for sociability (friendliness among co-workers) and solidarity (passion for common goals) with our team to instill a communal culture. The principles we live by are honesty, integrity and grace which provide a guiding light in all aspects of HSBP.
