Faith · Family · Leadership

Faith first. Service always. Leadership with purpose.

God is first in my life. I give Him all the glory and praise. My faith is the foundation for how I lead, serve, make decisions, and respond under pressure.

I believe healthcare growth matters most when it strengthens physicians, improves lives, and builds organizations capable of serving communities for the long term.

Over more than two decades, I have led across value-based care, Medicare Advantage, network development, and commercial transformation. My work centers on aligning strategy, talent, incentives, and execution—turning ambitious priorities into systems teams can carry forward.

My leadership was shaped by service as a U.S. Navy SEAL: prepare relentlessly, remain calm under pressure, put the mission above ego, and never lose sight of the people beside you.

I am a husband and father. I measure success not only by growth delivered, but by whether I honor God, serve my family, and leave people, organizations, and communities stronger than I found them.

God first Service before self Physician trust Durable impact

Leadership philosophy

“Earn trust, create clarity, and build systems that help good people perform at their best.”

Mission first. Calm under pressure. Accountability without ego.
