Meet Our Team

With over 15 years of experience in the financial services industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my role as a business owner and caregiver advocate. My journey began as I owned and operated a practice alongside my father, where we provided financial guidance and support to our clients. However, when my father fell ill and required extensive care from caregivers, I witnessed firsthand the profound impact they had on our family and his quality of life in his final years.

Motivated by this experience, I spent the next seven years searching for a way to make a meaningful difference in the caregiving space. Ultimately, I decided to purchase two Home Instead franchises in Bountiful and Salt Lake City, where I am dedicated to providing compassionate care and support to seniors and their families.

Outside of work, I find immense joy in spending time with my wife, Alysa, and our three children, Colin, Wesley, and Maisy. Whether we're cheering on our favorite sports teams—the Utah Jazz, BYU Cougars, and New York Yankees—or coaching our kids in their various athletic pursuits, family time is always a top priority.

Pursuing a career change, Sarah became a Care Professional for Home Instead in 2012 to fulfill a desire to help people. She quickly discovered a talent for caring for those with the most challenging needs, especially those facing Alzheimer's disease. When she entered into this field, she knew she would be helping others in a meaningful way, but what she didn't know was that they would be helping her. "There has been no greater lesson in life than having the privilege of caring for Seniors. The wisdom each has passed along is invaluable and I cherish every bond I have formed. Giving their loved ones peace of mind was another great unexpected reward." This is not just a job for Sarah, it is a mission; to be able to share her passion for teaching others how to give the most of themselves in hopes of improving the quality of someone else's life. Now, Sarah is a Care Professional Mentor & Trainer and loving every bit of it. She spends her free time hiking in the beautiful canyons surrounding Salt Lake City with her husband and Yellow Lab, Duke.
