Our Leadership

Dan Madsen has developed a combination of people, platform, and pipeline focused on changing the way business is done. He’s a tireless and inspirational leader with the drive and vision to make Leisure Care not only a great company to work with, but also a great company to work for. Since 1988, his business philosophy has been simple—put people first, and positively impact the lives of employees, customers, and business associates every day. Dan’s commitment to philanthropy has helped create a culture of giving, and his dedication to the industry has led to his involvement as a member of various boards.

Judy Marczewski joined Leisure Care as Chief Financial Officer in March 1999, and was named partner in 2003. Her experience in executive positions for KeyCorp, Key Bank of Washington, and CTS International, Inc. has prepared her well to serve as CFO. Judy is a graduate of Leadership Tomorrow, and is actively involved in Treehouse, an agency committed to improving the lives of foster children. She is also active in NIC and the Future Leaders Council. After a full day of reviewing financial histories, projecting trends, and forecasting future performance, Judy can be found enjoying the great outdoors with her family (more specifically, the slopes after a good snowfall). It’s this balance of family, community, and work that makes her perfectly suited for the role.

Andy Gomes joined the team in 1990 with an extensive background in the hotel and restaurant industry. His experience has been a driving force in laying the foundation for a solid, service-focused operations department, and it resonates in all business he conducts. Andy’s primary focus is the support and development of hospitality brands. Like Andy, his team is driven to find new and better ways to do business, regardless of industry or product. Andy’s service-oriented background is evident in his personal life as well. Having served his term as the President of the Board for Bridge of Promise, currently, Andy remains as a consultant to the organization’s Executive Director.

Ryan joined the Leisure Care team in 2000. His first role was as a Manager in Training and shortly thereafter he was promoted to General Manager, and now COO. Coincidentally, he was managing the same community that his grandmother had lived in a few years prior. In fact, Ryan’s grandmother played a large role in his profession in the senior housing industry due in part that he lived with her for five years. In 2004 Ryan joined the Leisure Care home office team and has been in an operational capacity ever since. In this role, he oversees the operational leaders of the communities and is responsible for their overall performance. He also represents the operations team with workers’ compensation and has initiated key objectives to lower the number of workplace injuries. Outside of work Ryan helps spearhead volunteer efforts at the Seattle Union Gospel Mission Search and Rescue where they find and feed homeless people. In the past, Ryan also spent many years involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound. In his free time, Ryan can be found spending time with his family, mentoring youth in the community, or enjoying the PNW fishing, skiing, and hiking. Ryan graduated with a BA in business from Washington State University.

Bre Grubbs is Leisure Care’s Chief Strategy Office as well as a Partner in the company. In her current role, Bre guides strategy for Leisure Care’s business development, sales and marketing, and human resource initiatives. Her focus is on collaboration with all company disciplines and external partners, guiding her teams in utilizing data, market research, and community-level experiences to maximize performance and drive responsible growth. Leisure Care’s philosophy of making a positive impact on the company’s residents, families, employees, and business partners is a driving force in all Bre does. She’s extended this philosophy to her contributions outside of the office as well, with the goal of sharing the career opportunities that exist in senior living with a broader audience. In support of these endeavors, she is Chair Emeritus of the Steering Committee for Washington State’s Granger Cobb Institute for Senior Living, the first operations-focused, hospitality-guided senior living program in the US. She is also actively involved with the NIC, serving on the Fall Conference Planning Committee and the Future Leader’s Oversight Committee. Outside of work, Bre can be found at a baseball field, watching her teenage son play or taking in a Mariner’s game with her family.
