After experiencing the death of a close family member, I discovered my passion for the senior living industry, and it didn’t take me too long before I found my way to Sunrise.

In my spare time, I enjoy golfing, ballroom dancing, and exercising."

Thomas J. Walsh

Senior Maintenance Coordinator

“I came to work for Sunrise Senior Living in 1998. Before that, I worked for a 200-unit senior housing authority and was at that building for 15 years. I have always enjoyed working with senior citizens; I was very young when my only grandmother passed away. I never grew up with a loving grandmother, and now I have a whole building full of grandmothers and grandfathers (my grand-buddies) that I get to take care of each day.

I had a hand in opening every Sunrise building in Michigan, 14 in all. 

My dad gave me my best lesson on fixing things; he always told me that if a man put it together, a man can take it apart.  So I never give up on finding a solution.

I plan on finishing my working career at Sunrise. My wonderful wife just retired from public housing as an executive director and we enjoy our summers at our property up north. I love to deer and turkey hunt. I’ve been hunting for more than 40 years now. Life is good.”
