Our Staff

Terry has been a member of the Friendship Village team since August of 2016, beginning as the Executive Director of the Sunset Hills campus (where he still serves today) and also as the President and CEO of Friendship Village Senior Services, overseeing all of the services it provides to seniors across the region.

Upon graduation from college, Terry served on active duty with the U.S. Army and retired after a 22-year career as a colonel in the Medical Service Corps. In the Army, he served in field units, jumped out of perfectly good airplanes, worked in the Pentagon, walked the DMZ in Korea, led active duty military hospitals and started and managed major portions of the military TRICARE program, focusing on population health and at-risk health plans. He also earned two master’s degrees.

Upon retiring from the army, Terry joined the corporate office of Ascension Health in St. Louis as a nonacute care operations senior director and a strategic planner, starting Ascension’s forays into retail health clinics with companies such as CVS Pharmacies; employer health clinics with companies such as Kohl’s department stores; and then senior care and senior living across the U.S.

Over time, he was tasked with the start-up of Ascension Health Senior Services, one of the largest senior care companies in the country. After getting Ascension Health Senior Care up and running, he had the opportunity to stop traveling and join Friendship Village in St. Louis, where he is now President and CEO.

Friendship Village is the only provider of a true Life Care program in Missouri, where communities take on risk for increasing costs as residents age and require higher levels of care. Terry’s background in population health and in operating every type of care, from outpatient services to hospitals to senior living and skilled nursing, has given him the opportunity to use his broad array of experience to help residents manage their health and get the most out of their senior years.

A leader in senior care for over 15 years, Stacey serves as the Vice President of Health Services at both Friendship Village campuses. Stacey joined the community in September 2016. Previously, she was the Executive Director of The Quarters at Des Peres and the CEO of Alexian Brothers Lansdowne Village. She was also the Regional Director of Business Development at Communicare Health.

Stacey graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in communication disorders. She’s active in her community, serving on the Ajax-Il Soccer Club Board of Directors and with the Maple Grove Civic Association. When she’s not working, she can be found coaching her children’s sports teams.

As Senior Living Specialist, Nicole met with prospective residents and family members as they sought to make informed senior living choices.

"Ever since I've been at Friendship Village, I've known more and more how much I enjoy serving our residents. Our residents are the reason I had been called to FV. I'm so blessed to have a job that I enjoy and I really enjoy the people I'm working with. I want to always remember that the reason I do what I do is to hopefully make a positive impact on someone’s life."
