Professional Summary

Healthcare has been the focus of my career for more than 15 years. Throughout that time, I've partnered with physicians, healthcare organizations, and veterinary practices to improve patient care, operational efficiency, and business performance through laboratory diagnostics, specialty diagnostics, healthcare technology, software, and capital equipment. I believe the best sales professionals become trusted advisors rather than simply product representatives — understanding each customer's business, identifying opportunities for improvement, and delivering solutions that create measurable value.

My experience spans laboratory diagnostics, specialty diagnostics, point-of-care diagnostics, toxicology, healthcare technology, practice management software, capital equipment, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and medical devices.
