MSL Construction

MSL Capital Holdings is the real estate development, acquisition, and financing affiliate of Mission Senior Living. Bill is primarily responsible for raising the capital needed to assure that every MSL community is “best in class,” and the MSL team has all the resources necessary to deliver excellent care and service to seniors, in beautiful and comfortable surroundings. 

Bill Bryan has worked in senior living for 15-plus years, but he doesn’t consider himself an expert in senior care. “I consider myself an expert in people, and especially in leaders. Darryl Fisher and Mike Deines are two of the finest (leaders) I have ever known, and it is a great honor to be able to support them and their great teams.”

Bill was a major investor in Sunwest Management Inc., and was appointed chairman of the Sunwest Management Committee in 2009. Bill, Darryl and Mike worked closely together (and with others) to maintain excellent resident care throughout the restructuring, recapitalization, and sales process. In 2011, Bill was elected Chairman of SRM LLC, a joint venture partner in a new entity formed from 144 of the properties developed and/or acquired and managed by Sunwest under Darryl and Mike’s leadership. By the end of 2013, investors in SRM had received – in cash – more than 15 times the value of their interests at the time when Bill was first appointed as Chairman.

Prior to Bill’s involvement in finance, he had a long and successful career as a film and television writer/producer. Among his best-known credits are the long-running comedy series Night Court and Coach.

For three generations the Fisher family dedicated their personal and professional lives to providing care and service for seniors. As early as 1965, Darryl Fisher can recall dinner conversations with his family about the retirement communities they owned and operated. He followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather and began what would become a lifelong career dedicated to improving the lives of seniors.

For more than 25 years, Darryl served in a number of administrative roles and leadership positions at various senior living organizations. As chief operating officer at Sunwest Management, Inc., he was responsible for more than 12,000 employees and more than 18,000 residents.

Darryl is one of the founders of Mission Senior Living and one of the architects of the organization’s MVPs (mission, values, and principles), which drive every aspect of operations, team development, and resident care. He considers it a privilege to work with Mission Senior Living’s dedicated team members in the development, construction, and management of Assisted Living, Memory Care and Independent Living communities. His life’s work is to lead a mission-driven, people-centered organization that delivers on the MSL promise of Caring People, Serving People, Improving Lives!

Mary Ingham is proud to work for an organization she believes in and whose MVPs align with her own values. She uses her knowledge and passion for seniors to fulfill Mission Senior Living’s mission of Caring People, Serving People, Improving Lives and she credits residents for her continued learning. “I learn so much from residents and love hearing their stories and words of wisdom!”

 As director of wellness development, Mary is responsible for training Mission Senior Living’s new wellness directors. “I’m here to support the wellness directors so they can perform their duties with confidence and develop as leaders,” she explained. Mary oversees state compliance, infection control, and wellness plans for Mission Senior Living communities.

Previously, Mary worked for two years as director of wellness at Mission Senior Living’s Yuma, Arizona community. Before returning to Mission Senior Living in this new role, she worked as a nurse at Yuma Regional Medical Center. For Mary, providing exceptional care and service to residents always comes first.

Sarah Green has dedicated 25-plus years of her career to caring for seniors and their families, mentoring senior living professionals, building caring and effective teams, and making senior living communities a great place to live and work. 

For Sarah, elder care is a calling, not a job, and every interaction with a senior or family member is an opportunity to make their lives better. Her energy, passion and “lead by example” style creates a culture where team members are equipped with the tools and support they need to fulfill our mission of Caring People, Serving People, Improving Lives. Through Sarah’s leadership and example, team members embrace the MVPs that make Mission Senior a great place to live and work. 

Sarah’s journey to Mission Senior Living began more than two decades ago at an assisted living community in Tacoma, Wash. She quickly grew out of her role as an administrative assistant and rose through the ranks. As vice president of operations, she was responsible for 52 communities.

Daniel is committed to providing Mission Senior Living residents with a safe, loving, joyful haven to call home. Through his leadership style and commitment to excellence, he creates a culture that promotes personal and professional growth, mutual respect, service and perseverance among team members.

The Arizona native has been serving seniors since he was 17-years-old, first as an assistant caregiver. He later served in a variety of positions in the senior healthcare and housing industries, including executive director, patient navigator and hospice care consultant. 

“Working with seniors has been a staple in my career, and I love the stories and memories I have gained along the way,” he said. 

Most recently, Daniel served as a Mission Senior Living administrator at River Valley Estates Senior Living and Memory Care in Yuma, Arizona. During his tenure, he helped open the community and reached 100% occupancy 14 months after opening.

Daniel has a master’s degree in business administration and dual bachelor’s degrees in human services and business management from the University of Phoenix.

Jamie joined Mission Senior Living to “be part of something bigger than myself.” “I wanted to be part of a company that has a clear mission and carries out that mission in everything they do.”

For Mission Senior Living, Jamie identifies and recruits qualified applicants, coordinates the onboarding process that includes MVP Training for new hires, and oversees all HR practices including performance management, and payroll benefits. She’s dedicated to enhancing the “amazing things already happening at Mission Senior Living.”

For more than a decade Jamie worked in the manufacturing industry as an HR professional and returned to the senior living industry in 2019. Like many of our team members, her passion for seniors started early as a server and housekeeping while in high school.

Steve started his legal career with an independent federal agency 40-plus years ago. While with an independent federal agency, he won a precedent-setting $1 billion case against a major transportation company. He went on to private practice in Washington D.C. with a large premier D.C. law firm. From there he went to Texas to serve as general counsel of litigation for a large RR company. Steve then established his own law firm and became, among other things, outside general counsel for a large midwestern utility company.

There, he set up an unprecedented regional counsel structure and partnered with the company’s board of directors, CEO and business heads, along with risk managers, claims handlers and insurance providers to establish an unparalleled defense system, which became a benchmark for long-term care insurance providers and their insured companies.

He also established and continues to lead 4ourelders, Inc., a company designed to assist the long-term care industry and its customers in improving care and service.
