ANDREW AGINS
I am passionate about building teams and helping people reach their potential. Through hard work and innovation, I believe we can improve the senior living model to optimize happiness and healthcare within our communities.
Prior to founding Evolve Senior Living, I led the investments platform at Anthology Senior Living. In this role, I developed strategies to best position our portfolio of seniors housing communities for success. Before working at Anthology, I served as Vice President, Portfolio Management at MUFG Union Bank where we provided debt to large real estate investment companies.
I live in Chicago, Illinois with my wife and two children. I love to read, travel, and explore new playgrounds with my kids.
Education: BA, Washington University in St. Louis; MBA, Kellogg School of Management

I love that I get to be a part of a team that is dedicated to positively changing the lives of our residents. Fundamentally, I believe that the senior living industry needs to change and am committed to leading the discussion to take us there.
Prior to founding Evolve Senior Living, I was the President of Anthology Senior Living – overseeing finance, investment, development, asset management, and operations for their 45-community portfolio. Before my time at Anthology, I served as Executive Vice President at Pathway to Living (a Waterton company); overseeing operational performance for their 48-community portfolio. I have also held development and investment-related positions at the Janko Group and Welltower (NYSE: WELL).
I live in Denver, Colorado with my wife and two children. In our free time, we like to ski, hike, and attend concerts at Red Rocks!
