I consider myself an orthopedic executive with 20 years of diverse healthcare experience. I continue to leverage the knowledge I gained as a Doctor of Chiropractic, Performance Enhancement Specialist and a nationally board certified athletic trainer (NATABOC) as well as previously being a licensed athletic trainer (TX) to be the best I can be. Since I was a little kid I have always loved helping people. I wanted to become an orthopedic surgeon however my life path led me to become a doctor of chiropractic and help people live a life of wellness as it is a journey not a destination. Being a doctor to me is being a teacher/educator. After practicing full time for a few years I decided to wander into the corporate world and with the above gained knowledge and diverse experience it has helped me become achieve my dream job as a “Medical Science Liaison.” I love continuously learning, researching, and communicating that data/knowledge that I have learned to whomever, in my current position it is with spine surgeons and it is a wonderful life! I love this job because it is and has to be fair balanced, ethical and compliant – educating the pro’s and con’s for the end user to better make an informed decision to help his/her patient live a better life!

If I could give 3 pieces of advice (that I still follow): 1. Hard work really does pay off so don’t ever give up; 2. Failure is not an option; and 3. The sky’s the limit – do whatever it takes to be the best!
