Dave Holder never thought he would end up in the senior living industry.
With a background in landscaping and snow removal, Dave spent most of his career working outdoors, surrounded by plants and snow. But life has a funny way of taking us down unexpected paths.
In 2015, Dave was lured away from his landscaping job to work for a snow removal company called Tovar.
He helped them open a branch in Indianapolis and got things off the ground from both an operational and sales perspective.
However, after a few years in the snow removal business, Dave started thinking about making a change.
That’s when he met Jeff, a franchise broker who convinced Dave to consider opening his own business.
They looked at several different opportunities, but nothing really ignited Dave’s passion.
Then, out of the blue, Jeff suggested helping families and seniors with senior living.
It was a lightbulb moment for Dave, who had just moved his father-in-law into a memory care community for the second time and knew firsthand how overwhelming the process could be.
With Jeff’s guidance, Dave began researching the senior living industry and decided to open an Assisted Living Locators franchise.
The company provides a free service to families and seniors, helping them find the best senior living options based on their specific needs and preferences.
