Jake Schneider - Executive Director
I recently moved to the area with my family of 4 and 2 German Shepards. I am a passionate MN Sports fan and enjoy hunting, fishing, snowmobiling or just being outdoors. In addition, I love coaching and cheering on my 2 children in the multiple sports they each play. I have been working in healthcare for over 20 years; I started my career as a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist in a small nursing home up north. Throughout my journey I have worked alongside many wonderful leaders who have blessed me with some great opportunities—I have learned so much from each, for which I am forever grateful. I have been an Executive Director for the past 9 years and thoroughly enjoy it. Being a part of so many individuals’ lives—whether it be my coworkers’, residents’, or the family members’ lives—is what I truly appreciate. I do view this role as a calling, and each and every day I try to give my full attention and focus to the team, residents and their families. Building relationships, making people smile and being trusted by so many to ensure the health and safety of their loved ones is my goal. I am excited to be here at Stonebay of Orono! Feel free to stop by my office to say hi.

Robert Kutscher - Food Service Director, Executive Chef
Having worked as a chef in many local dining establishments over the last 15 years I learned scratch cooking and many culinary skills that have helped me succeed as a Chef. I have even had the opportunity to help open a restaurant in a Hotel. , I have always gravitated towards providing the fine dining experience after learning how to cook and prepare excellent ingredients. I have worked at establishments such as Kincaids - Fish Steak and Chop House as well as Pinstripes – Bistro, Bowling and Boce and even opened up Café Urbana – located at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Bloomington MN as the restaurant Chef. My goals are to continue training myself to apply the Dietary Needs of our residents on a daily basis to the food served in our dining room at meal times while always considering the dining experience and presentation of our food.
Working at Stonebay has given me purposeful work where I can directly impact the community that I serve. I can feel the affirmation and the appreciation of the hard work put in and efforts given to each hour as we navigate our next challenges. The Seniors here are family to me and will be treated as such, with compassion, empathy, and respect most of all. I love to listen and always have an ear.
