Ron Denny has been with Friendship Village for over 11 years. Making the move from construction, Ron’s first role was as a carpenter at our Sunset Hills location. Ron’s services were needed in Chesterfield, so he started splitting his time between the two campuses before working permanently in Chesterfield. His job title went from Carpenter, to Refurbishment Manager, to Maintenance Manager, and finally just this past December he was promoted to Director of Maintenance! “What has kept me here is honestly really the residents,” Ron said. “I truly have a heart for them. I just know this is where I’m supposed to be. This is my home.” In his free time, he loves spending time with his family and their horses – they ride most weekends as weather permits! Ron’s advice to employees is to stick it out and stay. “It’s worth it,” he said. “I wish I could’ve started my whole career here, and although I was late to the game, I’m here now and I’ve been truly blessed.”
