Before joining VERTESS, I served as a senior healthcare executive for 26 years.

I am experienced in the full continuum of care, with a deep understanding of how new federal and state policies impact the bottom line.

Serving as the CEO, I supervised a staff of approximately 350 caregivers, established two branch locations in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins, and ultimately sold the company to a private equity firm in 2008. Since then, I launched an independent consulting practice that acquires underperforming health care entities, delivers strategic guidance and an array of management services to diverse healthcare organizations, facilitates with interim/long-term senior leadership operational turnarounds, joint ventures, facility expansion, service line development, and mergers and acquisitions. I also coach health system executives, physician groups, assisted living facilities, skilled nursing facilities, insurance companies, and post-acute organizations.
