Additional Information

I have enjoyed traveling externally and appreciate internal home based work in Utah. I have met new people at new facilities and learned that there is more than one way to run an Operatiing Room, there is not one person less important than the other and there is hardly any room to not give one hundred percent in this environment, I absolutely enjoy the fast paced environment.
