The company’s affiliated entities include: Aston Gardens Investors, Discovery Village Investors, Discovery At Home, Discovery Development Group, Discovery Management Group, Discovery Realty, Discovery University and Regency Pointe. Mr. Harrison founded Discovery Senior Living after having successfully served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Aston Care Systems, Inc. He guided Aston to a stabilized enterprise while achieving record revenues and profits. The operational success of Aston helped to bolster its portfolio sale to Sunrise Senior Living for $450 million dollars, a Senior Housing record (on a per-unit basis). Less then three years later, Mr. Harrison brought a team together that re-purchased Aston (Sunrises shares at a substantial discount), and became the managing director of the enterprise. Mr. Harrison began his career as a home builder with Kaufman & Broad (a national homebuilder and publicly traded company) and has held various senior management level positions with major national homebuilders, including California Homes, Toll Brothers, Taylor Woodrow, Ashton Woods Homes, and WCI Communities. Mr. Harrison brings over 35 years of successful senior management experience to the organization with the last 20 years dedicated to senior living.
Mr. Harrison is a nationally recognized leader within the senior housing industry.
