Meet the Village Caregiving Executive Team

Jeff Stevens

Co-Founder & CEO

As Founder and CEO of Village Caregiving, I’m excited to see our company grow and make a lasting impact on clients and employees. My passion lies in creating a culture where people are proud to work, enjoy what they do, and make a meaningful difference every day.

I began my career with accounting and law degrees from the University of Kentucky, then co-founded a firm with Matt Walker in 2007. In 2013, we teamed up with Andrew Maass to launch Village Caregiving. What started as one small office in Barboursville, WV, has expanded nationwide, driven by hard work, respect, and a commitment to integrity.

Outside of work, I’ve been in a rock band, appeared on Wheel of Fortune, and even tried skydiving and bungee jumping. My leadership is built on availability, loyalty, and teamwork, with a focus on open communication and supporting my team as we grow together.

Matt Walker

Co-Founder, President & Chief Compliance Officer

I am a 2003 summa cum laude graduate of Concord College (Athens, WV) with an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Arts degree, and a 2007 graduate of the West Virginia University College of Law (Morgantown, WV). I have served as a consultant and registered lobbyist for more than 50 groups since 2007 as a partner at Walker & Stevens and West Virginia Lobbyist Group. I specialize in pharmacy, primary care, and home and community-based services advocacy. I also co-own Village Caregiving, a home care agency with 4,500+ employees and 6,000+ clients in 22 states.

I have a clear understanding of the private, non-profit, and public sectors, having spent time working in each. The son of a West Virginia family physician, I am dedicated to improving care access and quality for rural, underserved communities. I currently reside in Ona, WV with my wife, Brandy, and our three children, Lola, Ruby, and Giles.

Andrew Maass

Co-Founder & President of Business Development

Hi, I’m Andrew Maass—co-founder of Village Caregiving. I helped start this company because I care deeply about the people at the heart of home care: the caregivers. Every day, I’m inspired by their compassion, dedication, and the difference they make in clients’ lives.

I’m a proud graduate of Marshall University and the West Virginia University College of Law, and I try to bring a thoughtful, people-first approach to everything we do here.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me exploring new places, wandering through museums, admiring architecture, or getting way too competitive in a game of trivia.

Ben Keenan

Managing Partner & COO

As a Managing Partner and COO at Village Caregiving, I’m excited to make a positive impact on my community while driving growth and innovation. With a background in banking and finance, I’ve learned the importance of balancing structure with adaptability. At VCG, we remain dynamic and flexible, combining creativity and strategic thinking to overcome challenges and grow our market share.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about meditation, psychology, and mountain biking. I enjoy pushing myself to grow both personally and professionally, finding clarity and balance through nature and self-reflection.

My leadership style is grounded in clarity and empathy. I encourage open, honest communication and strive to create a culture where everyone feels empowered to contribute. I’m deeply invested in my team’s well-being, always available for feedback, support, and collaboration.

Josh Early

Chief of Staff

As Chief of Staff, I help execute the vision of our CEO Jeff Stevens here at Village Caregiving.

Before joining Village Caregiving, I was a Regional Sales Manager for Steel Dynamics. It was there I refined my communication skills while planning meetings, coordinating customer visits and giving plant tours of the mill. At Village, I provide a similar experience for new employees who come to town for our onboarding process, called the “Car Wash.” I’m also the go-to guy for most problems around our Corporate Campus in Barboursville, WV.

Outside of work, I’m a proud dad of three. We spend most of our time at the baseball field cheering on the boys or watching our little girl cheer. I value community, and being a part of the local Little League, we’ve found ways to give back, and for our kids, the importance of being part of a team. In leadership, I believe it’s important to listen and make people feel heard. As a fixer, I’m always anxious to get involved and help push the ball down the field.

Aaron Gustin

President of Business Operations

As President of Business Operations, I oversee a team of six Regional VPs and support our local branches in maintaining best practices. I’m also a proud member of Village Caregiving’s Executive Team and co-host of The Secret VCG Experience, our internal podcast.

I hold a B.S. in Nursing from Grand Canyon University and am a licensed RN in 41 states. My career includes roles as a CNA/STNA, Director of Nursing, Executive Director at our Ashland, KY office, and Chief Nursing Officer before creating the Business Operations department at Village Caregiving.
Fun fact: I was once a hog farmer, raising and selling hogs in my community before moving into town. I’m passionate about supporting the team and finding practical solutions to any challenge. Feel free to reach out anytime!

As the son of a veteran, I had the opportunity to live all over the world growing up. That experience gave me a strong appreciation for service and the diverse needs of families: especially those connected to military life.
At Village Caregiving, I lead our financial strategy and operations, working to ensure we remain a reliable, mission-driven provider of in-home care across the country. I’m proud to support the vital work we do for veterans and their families every day.

My name is Jeremy Sissle and I am the Chief Financial Officer for Village Caregiving. After 15+ years of accounting experience primarily in the manufacturing sector, I joined Village Caregiving in 2020 as the Executive Director for the brand new Lexington, KY office. After a year and a half in that role, I transitioned roles back to my first love of finance/accounting. The CFO role allows me to support all of the hardworking offices across the country. I truly enjoy watching Village Caregiving continue to expand and I’m proud of my small role in that.

I then moved into the financial world, first as a Personal Banker and later as a Branch Manager, where I honed my skills in relationship-building and management.
Outside of work, I’m married with two boys who are involved in youth sports. I coach them in football, basketball, and baseball, and enjoy golfing, running, and being outdoors.

I’m passionate about helping Executive Directors and Directors of Operations grow, especially those with limited sales experience. My management style is laid-back, empowering my team to make decisions while always offering support when needed.

As President of Revenue Operations, I lead a team of seven and oversee all billing operations for our VA and Medicaid programs across the states we serve I’ve lived in the Barboursville area most of my life, and it’s incredibly meaningful to work for a company that truly makes a difference—for clients, caregivers, and the community.

One of the best parts of Village Caregiving is the people. This team is made up of some of the most talented and passionate professionals I’ve ever worked with—they genuinely feel like an extended family. Since joining, I can honestly say I’ve never had a day that I dreaded coming to work—not even on a Monday morning.

Outside of work, I’m the PTO President at our local elementary school and stay active on the worship team and children’s department. My husband, James, and I have been married since 2009, and we have two sons, Eli and Maddox. I proudly hold the title of #1 fan for every activity they’re involved in.

Outside of work, I’m a proud dad of three. I’m also an avid golfer, and a massive fan of football and video games. When it comes to leadership, I value respect, honesty, and the understanding that people have lives beyond work. I don’t micromanage—I just want people to be happy and do their best.

As the Chief Human Resources Officer at Village Caregiving, I lead a dedicated team responsible for various administrative functions and work closely with our general counsel on various legal and compliance matters.

Before joining Village Caregiving, I practiced law with a focus on insurance defense litigation, which sharpened my ability to anticipate challenges and manage risk. At Village, I find real purpose in protecting the company so we can continue changing the lives of clients and their families by providing care during critical moments.

Outside of work, I’m an avid cyclist, a hobbyist bike mechanic, and a proud father of two who enjoys cooking a variety of meals with my kids. My leadership style is rooted in authenticity and collaboration. I believe that growth comes from overcoming challenges and celebrating successes together as a unit.
