Sonny Mendoza
General Manager
Upon joining Thornebridge Gardens in 2016 as Dining Services Manager, not only was I welcomed to the team and community, the culture and core values of the corporate leadership aligned naturally with what I believed in. The incredible people make our community and team. We value our people and that’s when positive culture happens. Moving into the General Manager role, I carry with me the same passion and the desire to achieve a high level of customer satisfaction. After many years as a service provider, I can comfortably say there is no end goal, there is an everyday goal which is simply to make every day better. When better weather is upon us, golf, camping and BBQs are some of the things I like to try to find time for.
