Our Vision
Growing Together
LifeExec is building a community of people caring for people. If you look closely, you’ll see that vision embodied in our logo. We’ve discovered most people are just like us, they truly care. They want to be part of a solution and want to make their community a better place.

The vision is to create a community that inherently aspires to greater total healthcare through the growth of the community itself.
Our Story
It all started on a very big mountain.
Our company story begins when Ken York summited Mount Rainier with an expedition team. When an unexpected storm rolled over the mountain, Ken and his team found themselves in the midst of 70-mile-per-hour winds, sleet, and whiteout conditions.
Fortunately, the entire team was able to make it off the mountain without major problems.
Tragically, however, two members of a different team had died in the storm.
As a result, Ken realized that his family, his home, and his personal estate would have been in total disarray had he been hurt or killed. As a loving father and husband, he knew he needed to do more to ensure their safety.
Coincidentally, Ken’s business partner, Scott Mary, was looking at the same situation through a different lens. His aging parents had grown concerned about the best way to organize their legacy and estate. Scott struggled to find some kind of planning system that would give them peace of mind and allow them to enjoy their golden years.
Through those two personal experiences, and a desire to look after their families and loved ones, LifeExec was born.
