Above and beyond
One Eighty is a collection of amazing individuals who are driven to make each moment meaningful. Every person here is a creator and contributor, and we value not only the work they do, but also the spirit in which they do it.
Julie Tastad is an experienced and valued team member, starting with us in August of 1992. For Julie, every day has brought a unique learning experience and she has become passionate about advocating for people who have cognitive impairment and dementia. On a personal note, Julie enjoys spending time with her husband, counting her FitBit steps, and spending time with people who make her laugh.
I enjoy having the opportunity to impact what I want for those whom I love – and for myself – as we grow older; and changing the paradigm of “what is” in “seniors” living.
As one of our newest members, Abdul’s story is one worth remembering. After leaving a refugee camp in Somalia, he came to the States without being able to speak English. His wife and four kids were his motivation to learn and get a job, while his positive attitude got him in the door. Fast forward to today, where he assists every person who walks through our doors as our Corporate Lobby Host.
I am humbled to be part of an organization that puts people first. What make us different, is the way we truly live and breathe our values—I’ve never been part of something more rewarding.
Ryan joined One Eighty in 2000 and has been a crucial part of bringing the Three-Thirds Lifestyle to where it is today. With a wife, two teenage boys, and a love for the Seahawks, Ryan still makes time to volunteer and be a part of various boards around the Seattle area.
I love our values and the fact that we are about doing the right thing. Making a positive impact on lives and the balanced life style. And being able to work with people who are passionate about what they’re doing.

His experience has been a driving force in laying the foundation for a solid, service-focused operations department, and it resonates in all business he conducts. Andy’s primary focus is the support and development of hospitality brands. Like Andy, his team is driven to find new and better ways to do business, regardless of industry or product. Andy’s service-oriented background is evident in his personal life as well. He currently serves as a member of the Executive Leadership Council for Hopelink, a non-profit organization serving homeless and low-income families, and has been volunteering at Farestart, a culinary job training and placement program for homeless and disadvantaged individuals since 2008.

Judy Marczewski
Partner & Chief Financial OfficerJudy Marczewski joined Leisure Care as Chief Financial Officer in March 1999, and was named partner in 2003. Her experience in executive positions for KeyCorp, Key Bank of Washington, and CTS International, Inc. has prepared her well to serve as CFO. Judy is a graduate of Leadership Tomorrow, and is actively involved in Treehouse, an agency committed to improving the lives of foster children. Her passion for education and training has prompted her to head up our 180 Degrees program. After a full day of reviewing financial histories, projecting trends, and forecasting future performance, Judy can be found enjoying the great outdoors with her family (more specifically, the slopes after a good snow fall). It’s this balance of family, community, and work that make her perfectly suited for the role.
