ABOUT ME
Thanks for dropping by my page. I’ve been humbled by the people I’ve met over the past 15+ years in healthcare. Now, more than ever, we need to collectively rise as leaders to challenge the conventions of the current disjointed US health system. Let me know how I can be helpful. As long as it’s not in conflict with anything I’m directly working on, I’m always willing to help or connect parties that can. Please note, opinions are my own.
I eat, drink and sleep all things healthcare.
I’ve never had to search long or hard to find my passion. I live at the intersection of health and tech. That’s helped me choose the roles and areas of opportunity that have the most impact.
