Wallace returns home to take over family business
Southern Wind Manor-Assisted Living is keeping it all in the family. New Executive Director Matthew L. Wallace has one simple goal he would like to achieve at the assisted living community.
“I want to make this the best assisted living community in Texas,” Mr. Wallace said.
Mr. Wallace attended Pittsburg public schools and is a Pittsburg High School graduate. Mr. Wallace holds a bachelor degree in Finance from University of Utah and Masters of Business Administration from Dallas Baptist University. He also has a Texas Assisted Living Administrators certification. He and his wife Sara are parents to a 4 year old son Noah and 8 month old triplet daughters, Olivia, Abigail, & Sierra. The triplets were born the day after graduation last May.
“When the position became open at Southern Wind Manor”, Mr. Wallace says “the move to Pittsburg made sense.”
“My parents, James & Pamela Wallace, contacted me to come home and take over the family business and at that point it felt right,” Mr. Wallace said. The thing that surprises people most about Mr. Wallace is that he speaks fluent Vietnamese, both dialects.
The Wallace’s built Southern Wind Manor over eight years, and Mr. Wallace said they are one of the few family owned assisted living facilities left.
Along with Mr. Wallace, his father and mother, brother and other family members also work at the assisted living community. Mr. Wallace said he has raised the bar when it comes to finding the right staff to work alongside his family and the residents of Southern Wind.
