Worked in the field of specimen transport for twenty five years at Cleveland Clinic. Before my employment with Cleveland Clinic I worked as a courier for eighteen years for small lab that merged with multiple labs and became one of the biggest labs in the country.
I have worked in some other fields before getting my start in the business of laboratory pickups.
