What makes a Food Service Director great? A love of food and serving people is a good start—and Mark Schroeder is not only good, but great in leading a team that delivers the perfect culinary experience to our residents. He received his first taste of the food service industry in an ice cream parlor/grill managed by his mother—and thus was born a rich career in the restaurant industry. When he isn’t serving up themed events on the pool patio, Mark can probably be found taste testing our Chefs’ newest creations or giving his extraordinary kitchen tours. His love of dancing is also well known so ask to see his moves!

A Food Service Director in Arizona retirement communities for more than 30 years, Mark landed at Royal Oaks in 2007 and we are thrilled he brought to our residents a food service experience that delights gastronomically.
