Murray Finger has been named the new executive director of St. Marks Living in Austin. St. Marks is a senior living and healthcare campus that provides a full continuum of housing and care options for older adults in Austin.

Finger spent the last eight  years traveling in many states doing interim work as executive director in several locations.

Finger has over 20 years experience in nursing home administration and has worked in Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and South Dakota.

Finger began his career as a nursing assistant in 1984 and has worked in nursing homes ever since.

According to Finger, he has really developed a passion for caring for the elderly.

“I had a girlfriend  in high school  that was a nursing assistant and the more I would be around her while she was at work the more comfortable I got with the elderly,” Finger said.

“I stayed in the field because I have a love for the elderly and a true passion for taking care of them.”
