Who we are and why Heartfield exists.
Our mission
Heartfield Community Living is being built around a simple belief: every person with an intellectual or developmental disability deserves a place to call home—a place where they are treated with dignity, have a voice in their daily lives, and feel connected to their community.
Our story
Every person experiences home differently. That understanding began to take shape during my work in healthcare. Patients came in for many reasons, and as part of the safety and security department, I sometimes spoke with them about their living situations and the challenges they faced day to day.
What people shared underscored how personal support is. Routines, preferences, strengths, and challenges vary from person to person. A diagnosis or support need can offer important context, but it cannot define someone's idea of a good life.
I wanted to help build an approach that starts with each person and shapes support around their circumstances, priorities, and vision for a meaningful life. That belief is the foundation of Heartfield Community Living.

Founder & Operations Manager
U.S. Army Veteran · Freight & Logistics · Healthcare Safety & Security
I'm a U.S. Army veteran. After my service, I pursued a career in sales and logistics, including commercial transportation and freight brokerage. It provided stability and valuable experience, but over time I realized I was searching for something more meaningful.
I had long been interested in becoming a hospital chaplain, and as I followed that path, I found myself increasingly drawn to healthcare. That journey led me to a position in Safety and Security at Norton Healthcare, where I gained firsthand insight into the importance of dignity, compassion, and service.
