To Whom It May Concern:

My name is Leo Dokshutsky and I am interested in finding a Management position in a retirement community or an assisted living facility with a commitment to wellness. I am confident that the unique skill-set and knowledge base I have can help your facility to expand its influence in the Greater Seattle Area retirement market. I bring to the table my dedication, experience, knowledge, training and passion to the field of older adult wellness.

In my resume you will see that my professional background spans across medical, fitness, and business fields. In brief, I come with over 12 years of fitness experience, several years of medical education, MBA education and management experience. I am a member of several professional organizations including ACSM and ICAA. Most importantly, though, I come with a passion for working with the older adult population. Having worked with retirement communities in Seattle area, I understand how effective wellness programs can provide excellent ROI to help retirement communities to compete in the emerging market of the Aging Boomer generation. Having to take care of my aging grandparents, I know firsthand how effective and affirming such programs can be. In this rapidly changing market it is essential to remain competitive and abreast of the new developments in the Retirement industry. I believe I have the skills and the passion to help your community in this respect.

May we set up a time to talk? I would like to explore how I can help Age Dynamics to seize the emerging market opportunities and promote its unique programming. Please give me a call at 425-***-**** or email me at abqimw@r.postjobfree.com.

Thank you very much for taking the time to consider my credentials.

Sincerely,

Leo Dokshutsky LMP, ACE
