Growing up an Army brat in Europe, Larry draws much of his early culinary influence from the diverse and eclectic gastronomic delicacies found in the former West Berlin. After moving stateside, Larry continued his tutelage at some of the finest country clubs and eateries in the Augusta, Georgia area. From in-house smoking trout at Sixth and Watkins to lobster and steak buffets at one of the area’s finest private dining clubs, Larry decided to bring his expertise to Trinity over 18 years ago and never looked back.
In his spare time, Larry enjoys catering the occasional private party or providing culinary delights for dignitaries visiting private functions in the area. Larry is happily married with four adult children and three grandchildren. Larry is also an avid collector of coins and rare comics, and he serves on the Savannah Riverkeepers Conservation Project.
Twenty years ago, our Director of Environmental Services, Tommy Cheatham, came full circle to work at the same place where he attended junior high at the old Aiken Junior High. Prior to joining the Trinity team on the old school grounds, Tommy spent a decade working his way up and learning the environmental services ropes at the Aiken Regional Medical Center. Tommy enjoys working with our residents and states, “they are like family,” and they make him look forward to coming to work each and every day.
Tommy has been married to his wife, Ruby, for what he calls, “31 beautiful years,” and the couple has three sons and eight wonderful grandchildren. In his spare time, Tommy enjoys a good movie or playing tourist around the palmetto state!
South Carolina native, Robert Sessions, has come full circle and has made Aiken and Trinity his home for well over the last decade. Prior to coming to Trinity, Robert served as an Area Manager and Director of Security for a Fortune 500 security services corporation at a prestigious gated community on the Isle of Palms for a decade. Wanting to change career paths and to fulfill a dream of making a difference in people’s lives, Robert came aboard as Director of Life Enrichment and has never looked back. Robert loves working with older adults and is in awe of the many “walking encyclopedias” he interacts with on a daily basis. Serving our residents by just doing those little things puts a smile on his face and makes his day.
