Missy grew up in Agness, Oregon, surrounded by a family of skilled cooks and bakers where homegrown and homemade foods were a way of life. From a young age, she embraced the values of hard work and creativity in the kitchen, helping her mother, who worked as a cook for local riverboat excursion destinations. By 14, Missy was already immersed in the world of food service, developing a deep passion for serving others and creating memorable dining experiences.
In her early 20s, while raising two children, Missy gained extensive experience in the restaurant industry, including assisting in her mother’s restaurant. After the birth of her second child, Missy joined Gold Beach Hospital, where her leadership and innovation shone as she became the hospital’s first certified dining manager and certified food protection professional. She launched a successful catering business from the hospital kitchen, combining her entrepreneurial spirit with her culinary expertise.
In 2001, Missy transitioned to the long-term care industry, discovering her true calling. As she advanced from Executive Director to Regional Director of Operations and eventually Vice President of Operations, she remained deeply connected to dining services—a key area where she could elevate resident satisfaction and operational excellence. During her tenure as Vice President, Missy focused on creating impactful dining programs, developing menus that balanced quality and variety while meeting the unique needs of residents. She regularly inspected kitchens, ensuring compliance with state regulations and internal standards, and implemented comprehensive dining quality assurance programs.
Missy also designed site visit tools to streamline evaluations and provided hands-on training for communities, dining managers, and kitchen teams. Her efforts not only raised the standard of dining services but also empowered teams to deliver exceptional results. Her leadership led to multiple deficiency-free state dining inspections and the successful execution of innovative dining initiatives across numerous communities.
Today, Missy brings her unmatched integrity, quality, and passion to Emily’s Promise. Her dedication to honesty, safety, and excellence continues to drive her work as she helps communities achieve the highest standards of dining and resident care. Missy’s belief that quality assurance is the foundation of success inspires Emily’s Promise’s mission to ensure every resident experiences improvement in long-term care dining services.

As a child, Emily’s imagination knew no limits. Whether she was creating adventures in our backyard or dreaming up new ideas for her future, she approached everything with excitement and determination. She loved animals, music, and art, always finding ways to express her creativity and care for the world around her.
As she grew, Emily’s heart remained her guiding force. She had a knack for understanding people and making them feel truly seen and valued. Her friends and family meant everything to her, and she carried a fierce loyalty that was rare and beautiful.
Emily’s journey wasn’t always easy, but she faced life’s challenges with grace and resilience. She taught me so much about strength, love, and the importance of living authentically. Her passing left a void in our hearts, but her memory continues to inspire.

Raised in Willamina, Oregon, Logan has always been driven by a passion for service and a commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of others. From participating in school clubs to excelling in customer service roles, Logan developed an early understanding of the value of connection and care in everything he does.
Logan’s journey in senior living began in 2019 when he joined a newly opened assisted living and memory care community as an Assistant Business Office Manager. It wasn’t long before he discovered that long-term care was his true calling. His dedication and drive saw him quickly rise to the role of Executive Director, where he gained a comprehensive understanding of community operations, resident experience, and team leadership.
Logan’s deeper involvement with dining services came when he was involved in the opening of a brand-new retirement community featuring a full-service restaurant. This reshaped his perspective on the importance of dining in the resident experience. Logan worked closely with the dining team, assisting in dining room service, and even stepping behind the line with cooks to ensure excellence in food preparation. He helped organize events that required heavy food needs, created quality assurance programs to maintain high dining standards, and fostered a fun and supportive work environment that resulted in exceptional staff retention.
After the passing of his sister-in-law, Emily, Logan’s passion for cooking and baking grew as a way to honor her legacy. Inspired by her love for food, he embraced the power of dining to bring people together and create moments of joy.
In addition to his work at the community level, Logan has provided multi-site dining assistance, supporting dining operations across various communities. He also conducted mid-level management training for managers in multiple departments, sharing his passion to help leaders grow and excel.
Logan’s promise of transparency, quality, and passion drives him to deliver the best possible experience—whether resident or staff. His leadership and hands-on approach reflect his unwavering dedication to creating environments where people feel valued, respected, and supported.

We’ve faced life’s ups and downs together, always leaning on the bonds we’ve built over time. Every challenge has strengthened our connection, and every joy has reminded us of the gift of family.
Our home is filled with laughter, stories, and memories of those we hold closest. Emily, our beautiful daughter, sister, and light, will always be the center of our story. Though her presence is no longer physical, her spirit lives on in everything we do. She taught us the importance of love, honesty, and living with purpose—lessons we honor every day through our actions and the promises we make to one another.
Together, we’ve built Emily’s Promise, a family-driven consulting business inspired by Emily’s legacy. With her as our guiding star, we pour our hearts into our work, bringing the same love and care to others that defines who we are as a family.
