My professional story

From clinical care to building healthcare businesses.

I started as a nuclear medicine technologist, working directly with patients and physicians. That experience still shapes how I lead: useful technology has to fit the work, not just look convincing in a demo.

At Sarasota Memorial, I moved into operational leadership, managing 50+ direct reports and owning the P&L for my service areas. At LANDAUER / Fluke Health Solutions, I combined that operating experience with hands-on software development to build a recurring-revenue business.

Today, I own business priorities, budgets, and pricing while personally building tools and leading teams that develop and implement them. My focus is the connection between commercial results, reliable service delivery, and practical technology.
