Albert Owens has more than 25 years of experience in the restaurant and hospitality industry. Joining our West Fork Village in 2018, Albert instantly fell in love with our strong company culture and philosophies for serving seniors. Albert has experience as a server, bartender, lead trainer, supervisor, and general manager at several large restaurant chains such as Bob Evans Farms, Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores, and Kips Big Boy. The two most important lessons Albert has learned in his professional career: (1) Remember the Golden Rule – to do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and (2) To confide in his team. Albert believes that the greatest successes have come from learning and growing with his team. He truly feels that there has not been a day that he was not excited to go into work because of the people he works with and the company’s culture. Albert resides in Lancaster, Texas. When he’s not working, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Kimberly, and their friends and family. They also enjoy new culinary experiences in the DFW area and traveling to different cities.
