Jarod serves as Director of Plant Operations at Silverado Lee’s Summit. He brings six years of maintenance experience in senior living, including five years as a director and one as an assistant director, and he stepped back into a director role for the chance to make a real difference.
While working across independent living, assisted living, and memory care, Jarod found he was drawn to memory care. He believes residents deserve the same dignity they came into this world with, regardless of their illness. He takes safety seriously and is passionate about making sure the home residents live in is well cared for.
Originally from South Africa, Jarod lived there for 13 years, spent nine years in England, and has been in the United States since 2011. He now lives in Blue Springs and is a proud single dad to four children and a stepdaughter, with three dogs and three cats at home. Being a dad is his top priority and his favorite
pastime, and his kids love visiting him at Silverado because of the family feel. Outside of work he enjoys festivals and local markets, supporting local businesses.
