David Madarus

Dave Madarus has a knack for keeping things running — whether it’s a building, a business, or a big holiday light display. For the past five years, he’s served as Maintenance Director at Willamette Manor Assisted Living, bringing both skill and heart to the job. Before that, he retired from a long career in the retail grocery industry and also put his contractor’s license to good use.

When he’s not fixing, building, or improving something, you’ll find Dave out exploring the world as an avid traveler, behind the wheel of a 10-wheeler truck during harvest season, or knee-deep in a crabbing adventure.

Come holiday season, you’ll find him in his natural habitat — surrounded by twinkling lights and the faint smell of extension cords, transforming the season into a glowing, magical experience.

I’ve been proud to be part of the team since January 28, 2011, over 14 years and counting!
