"My greatest joy and blessing is honoring our seniors with meaningful and memorable experiences, and that includes providing an environment they are proud to call home."

Reeder joined Watercrest in 2022 after moving to South Carolina with his family and finding the Watercrest organization. He was immediately drawn to the faith-based senior living company committed to principles of serving a greater purpose and honoring seniors.

Raised in San Francisco, Reeder began his career, as three generations had before him, at the world-famous Bordenave's French Bakery, working his way up to production manager. After graduating culinary school, Reeder entered the senior living industry as a pastry chef at a newly opened CCRC in downtown San Francisco. This opportunity would lead to a promotion to executive chef, and then an exciting transition to plant operations. His path then led to facility manager for the Archdiocese of San Francisco, overseeing building projects, renovations, and budgeting for the large school and parish. Reeder moved to South Carolina in 2022 to be close to his newly born grandson, joining the Watercrest organization where he could utilize his skills in facility operations while making a difference in the lives of seniors.
