About Our Staff

David, and his wife, Debbie started BeyondWell Home Care (formerly BeyondWell Home Care) of Placer County in 2013 after David spent 30+ years in national and regional management positions in the mortgage industry. Early in his career he realized that the one thing he truly controlled was service. David set goals and standards that would ensure that he would outperform the competitors in service and set up standards to measure performance to ensure consistency. In order to provide great service David focused on recruiting excellent staff that were service oriented. He made sure that they were well trained, rewarded and recognized, which in turn resulted in a very high retention of these key contributors. David has used that experience in recruiting wonderful caregivers who have a passion for caring for others and giving them the additional training and recognition to insure that they have the best caregivers in their market.

He graduated from Brigham Young University in Organizational Communications. He volunteers in his church and the Boy Scouts of America. David and Debbie have four children and seven grandchildren and believe that family is more important than anything. In his spare time he enjoys mountain biking, scuba diving, and vacationing anywhere that has a beach.

Prior to joining, Ryan spent 12 years in the real estate industry in various sales, marketing, and management roles. He has extensive experience in the financing, acquisition, disposition, marketing, and leasing of various types of real estate including office, industrial, retail, hospitality, and residential properties.

Ryan attended Brigham Young University and studied Facility and Property Management. He, and his wife Ashley, have four children. Ryan enjoys spending time with his family, being outdoors, traveling to new places, and anything technology related.

Debbie has been caring for people all her adult life. Early on she was trained to be a surgical assistant and worked in hospitals assisting in all kinds of surgery. She was fascinated by the medical field and enjoyed helping surgeons improve the lives of so many. However, as her family grew she had the desire to be a full time mother and hung up her scrubs to raise her four children. She has always been very active in volunteering with everything her children were involved in including school, boy scouts, church, and sports. She has been the President of two volunteer organizations for youth and has dedicated countless hours helping to provide them with a solid foundation to build upon. She was also in a leadership position for an organization that focused on the needs of the elderly and made sure that they had friends, activities, and visits which helped to enrich their lives.

She currently is a volunteer at the Family Search Library in Sacramento and assists others with researching their ancestors. She also is co-chair of an annual Nativity Exhibit for our community in which over 500 nativities are displayed and various community choirs and musical groups perform.

Debbie enjoys spending her free time with her family and seven beautiful grandchildren.

Alicia started her journey with the elderly by spending time with her grandmother who taught her life’s simplest gift is to show compassion to others. For 20 years she has made it a goal to provide the highest level of care, being an advocate for the elderly, and making a difference in their lives daily. She has worked with seniors that have been affected with a variety of conditions ranging from Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s, and end-of-life hospice care.

In 2015 Alicia achieved a long-term goal and attained her Residential Care For the Elderly License. She has been a team member of BeyondWell Home Care (formerly BeyondWell Home Care of Placer County) since 2016. Communication and being a team player, along with establishing a professional relationship between the caregivers and clients, is key to ensuring that both are comfortable in our ability to provide the best care possible.

Julene brings over five years of experience in Human Resources, having worked across nonprofit, healthcare, education, and financial settings. Her journey into Senior Care began in 2018 through church outreach programs, where she developed a strong connection to serving the elderly. That same calling guided her into HR, where she’s supported staffing needs across multiple care facilities and worked closely with teams to find people who truly want to make a difference.

Julene has hands-on experience in many areas of HR, including hiring, onboarding, compliance, staff support, and maintaining clear communication across departments.

She continues to grow in the field by pursuing additional certifications. As a military spouse, Julene values stability, kindness, and dedication—qualities she looks for in every caregiver she meets. She loves to cook, bake, meet new people, and listen to the stories that bring people together. If you’re someone who cares deeply about helping others, Julene is always open to connecting!

Krystal’s love for helping others started in 2012 when she became a caregiver. She has worked with a multitude of clients and supported them in the most vulnerable times of their lives. In 2018 Krystal was promoted to Caregiving Services Coordinator. This role taught her to be very thorough in her communication with clients and caregivers. This has allowed her to thrive and provide a safe working environment for caregivers and clients.

As Staffing Manager Krystal will be acting as a liaison between clients and our caregivers. She has developed a special eye for matching clients with the perfect caregiver. It starts by truly getting to know each client and caregiver as thoroughly as possible. Making sure she takes the appropriate amount of time upfront in making the right matches which sets our clients up for long-term success. Krystal has the ability to actively listen to others and respond in an appropriate manner. She takes pride in her role of coordinating schedules and meeting staffing needs. She is such a team player and is always willing to go above and beyond for our clients and caregivers.

McKinley started caring for others at the young age of 8 years old, helping her mom care for her grandparents through end-of-life care. Her next opportunity came by providing care for a neighbor who struggled with early-onset dementia and had no family to care for her. After five years of assisting her, she helped her neighbor transition to a senior community, and decided to take a break from caregiving and enlisted in the Marines. An unexpected knee injury forced her to transition out of the military sooner than expected, and she picked up caregiving right where she left off, specializing in clients who require memory care and end-of-life care.

McKinley has worked for several home care agencies in the Sacramento area, but never really found an agency she really connected with until she found BeyondWell Home Care. They immediately stood out to her because she could feel how much they care about both their clients and their caregivers. After spending a few years as a caregiver helping a variety of clients, the opportunity to transition to the office was presented to her in early 2025. She has already made a big impact on the office team, helping support our caregivers and keeping the office running smoothly. She’s excited to continue to learn and see where this new role takes her.
