Brandie Hesson-Bullard started as Executive Director of CountryHouse in Kearney in December 2021. She relocated to Nebraska, her home state, from Washington to join our team. Before joining CountryHouse, she served as Community Relations Director at a senior living community in Olympia, WA. In addition to her work in senior living, Brandie has more than 20 years experience in the hospitality industry, in general management, revenue management, catering management and sales. Her first foray into senior living occurred when she was a child. Her mother was an activities director in senior living, and Brandie would spend time with the residents in her community. Brandie’s family includes her adult son, Austen, his wife, Taylor, and AJ, who is four years old. In her spare time, Brandie enjoys being outside – fishing, hiking, hunting, gardening and archery are some of her favorite activities. She’s also a proud pup parent. “I love working with seniors. It gives me such happiness and purpose. The CountryHouse community is incredible. We make a huge difference for residents and their families. I am so passionate about what we do!”
