Accomplishments

    My first project at Centene was to take the RMS system, which tracks Member, Provider, and Producer requests, and port it into ServiceNow. I led a team of contract developers in reverse engineering the existing WellCare system and redesigning it for ServiceNow. While the application rebuild was a team effort, our contract developers could not access the user tables due to security constraints. I personally had to design and develop the code to bring over 2500+ users from WellCare into ServiceNow while matching several user specific attributes to Centene's Active Directory and WorkDay systems. I managed all of the milestone planning, stakeholder communications, testing, training sessions, and our go live deployment validations. They are still using the system successfully today and it is being leveraged by additional business units throughout the Centene organization.

Travel, Food, Music, Pickleball

  • My family has always been excited about traveling and seeing new places. We have taken our daughters backpacking through Europe, Mexico, Canada, and across the United States. I also used to travel for work and was fortunate enough to have contracts and offices in England, Singapore, and Australia.
  • Along with travel comes food! My wife and I both love to cook and try new types of food. We regularly attend cooking classes and food tours while traveling. Our daughters enjoy baking and are learning to like more adventurous cuisine.
  • I grew up playing every instrument I could find and took lessons for many years on piano and guitar. I try to stay active in the local music community.
  • I am a big ice hockey fan and player and I run a local team in the NORAD Canadian Hockey League in Colorado Springs.
