As Ardent’s Chief Ventures Officer I leverage my extensive two-decade expertise in strategic and operational management. I am the key leader and executive change agent guiding Ardent through emerging business ventures, technological innovations, and strategic investments and partnerships with a focus on driving growth and expansion. I also lead and direct the company's talent acquisition efforts.

As an wartime veteran, I served with distinction in the Persian Gulf aboard the U.S.S. George Washington and at the Pentagon. My post-military career has included various operational roles within nonprofit & privately held organizations as well as government services firms.
