Summary
Ambitious and Driven, I have never met a challenge or situation that I have not been able to overcome and improve. Spending the first half of my professional career in business development and management, I have a unique set of skills that allow me to understand and effectively operate in the clinical/hospital/professional setting where I can not only lead but improve upon an already strong business model. My background of military leadership, business leadership along with the strong relationships I have developed as a staunch and sometimes fierce advocate for Alabama Orthopedic Clinic, will be great assets to this organization, if i am allowed and given the privilege to help lead this amazing organization that I love.
