David A. Slomovic is a modern Renaissance man passionately focused on improving the future for all. He has the most unusual resume you likely have ever seen. While studying history at UCLA he ran a newspaper and won creative writing awards. After working as a Capitol Hill legislative Intern in 1987 he then went to Law School where he founded a law student's association organization. After passing the bar he worked as a Trial Attorney in the bloody field of criminal law from '91-'98. During a third-strike murder trial he was asked by his family to leave law and join the family real estate business, which he agreed to despite knowing nothing about the industry. From 1998 until his incredibly successful exit in December of 2015, due in large part to the efforts of Evans Senior Investments, he personally operated a family-owned 130 unit Independent & Assisted Living Community in Orange County California. Forced to literally start from the bottom, he ultimately used personal observations, a creative knack for marketing and operational solutions, and unique staff motivation techniques to transformed the non-performing asset into a powerhouse that, according to Evans Senior Living, shattered the per door sale record last year in Orange County, California.
Since the exit Mr. Slomovic has been both assisting operators and developers with understanding superior senior living marketing and operations techniques while also evaluating new opportunities. The steady stream of calls regarding staffing problems as well as senior placement and resident and staff satisfaction issues prompted Mr. Slomovic to consider writing a "tell all" book about senior living from the inside out where he reveals his insights and secrets about navigating the Assisted Living world as an outsider as well as how to boost profitability while cutting expenses as only a truly successful "hands on" insider would know.
Mr. Slomovic identifies the fixable flaws most Communities do not even know they have, exposes the secret reasons behind the industry's poor penetration, and makes an extraordinary case for senior living that the Aging industry somehow fails to understand.
David brand new book shares new truths about seniors, employees, making this transition work smoothly, and even criminal law, that you never expected or knew before.
Join Mr. Slomovic on his mission as he takes you through his extraordinary journey from criminal trial attorney to Assisted Living mogul in his new shocking and controversial book, The Unicorn Project: Insider Secrets of Senior Living Plus the Ultimate Step-by-Step Guide to Assisted Living - Now Available ONLINE at AMAZON.COM
