Building on experience.
Looking ahead.

I co-founded Next Move Healthcare and led the business through its sale in 2025. Today, my focus is leading Care Career, developing people and exploring practical uses of AI in everyday operations.

I’m a member of YPO’s Kansas City chapter, a community I find incredibly valuable for connection and shared learning.
