John Burdick
Seasonal Pool Attendant,
Homecoming at the Resort
Where are you from?
John: I was born in Inglewood California, about two blocks from where SoFi Stadium (Home of the Rams and Chargers) now stands. I grew up mostly in the Simi Valley/Thousand Oaks area.
Do you have any hobbies?
John: My hobbies are travel, music, sports, craft beer.
Favorite book or movie?
John: I’m more of a music guy than a book or movie guy. I like all types of music. Rock, indie, country, soul, pop, blues, even the occasional hip hop. Good music is good music no matter what style. Currently my two favorite albums (do people even listen to entire albums these days?) would probably be “Into the Music” by Van Morrison or “Blood on the Tracks” by Bob Dylan, but I’m always on the lookout for interesting new tunes.
Any interesting facts about yourself?
John: I once went out to get some pizza for lunch and ended up unexpectedly meeting a President of the United States. Another time I took a drive to meet a friend and even more unexpectedly ended up meeting Michael Jackson in his house at Neverland.
What are you most excited about working at Lewis?
John: I am most excited about returning to Lewis (my 6th year as a seasonal employee) in that I will be working at a new property. It’s a somewhat bittersweet feeling, as I’ve enjoyed working with some amazing people at Homecoming at Terra Vista over the previous 5 years, and have met some wonderful residents there as well. I’ll miss them all greatly. However I’m looking forward to a new challenge and adventure at Homecoming at the Resort and have already met some great people there both as colleagues and residents. I’m very proud to be an employee for Lewis, no matter where I’m working.
I never take FOR GRANTED the fact that they’ve put their faith in me.
