Seniors & Aging

I grew up in a small Missouri town where my father owned the local store. My parents taught us kids early on the importance of helping others.

Elder family members were always taken care of at home, with the extended family. I enjoyed those experiences of caring for others, which led me to pursue a career in medicine. Founding Bulverde Assisted Living was merely an extension of that desire to care for others.

As a surgeon I?ve had the privilege of caring for patients of all ages. My husband (also a surgeon) and I were blessed with the opportunity to care for his aging mother for six years. Sadly, her health reached a place where we could no longer care for her on our own. We searched for a local assisted living facility in which to place her. It was that experience that led us to start Bulverde Assisted Living.

I have been an audiologist for almost 20 years, and I have loved my career so far. I have worked with cochlear implants, monitored the brain and spinal cord in surgeries, worked in a hospital setting, and worked in an ENT clinic doing diagnostics and helping people hear again with hearing aids. I have always treated my patients like family, and anyone that is one of my patients can attest to that. I am excited to be the first audiologist in Bulverde/Spring Branch, and promise to deliver the level of care you need, with expertise, education, and compassion.  If you or anyone you know is looking to improve their quality of life by making their hearing better, we will be happy to have them as part of this journey. We love adding people to our story, and we love being part of theirs.

As a financial/money coach, I help driven 25- to 45-year-olds bridge the gap between their values and their financial goals. Money should be a tool, not a stressor, and I guide my clients in creating a financial roadmap that aligns with what truly matters to them—whether it’s financial freedom, family security, or a fulfilling lifestyle. Through smart budgeting, intentional spending, and strategic investing, I empower them to build wealth with purpose, confidence, and peace of mind.

Shane Carter is a retired healthcare executive and consultant who managed multi-specialty medical groups for over 24 years.  After a long and stressful career in healthcare he was hungry and thirsty for real ministry.  It seemed irrational to keep doing the same thing while somehow hoping to fall into real ministry work.  So, in the fall of 2014, Shane walked away from a lucrative healthcare career in pursuit of life-giving ministry.   What he found is incredible joy, happiness, and fulfillment in working directly with those who are underserved and isolated.  In the summer of 2020 Shane formed Project 10:27 with the passion to reach lonely and isolated senior adults in San Antonio.

I'm a dedicated father and husband in a blended family of 6, and a retired Air Force Meteorologist.  We've lived in the Bulverde/Spring Branch area since 2015, and chose to make this our permanent home after my AF retirement in 2018.

I've had a passion for all things related to personal finance since my early 20's, but it wasn't until after retirement that I decided to make the jump into my new career.  After 21 years in the military, I decided it was time to commit to building something.  New York Life showed me a path where I can help people set themselves up to enjoy financial success and peace-of-mind, while expanding my formal knowledge to grow in my career, so I chose to make the leap!  

If you're looking for someone who values integrity, family, and service to answer your questions, let's talk!  Together we can work to build your own peace-of-mind for the long term.
