I have spent over 25 years in the medical device industry focusing on two core challenges: identifying the essential clinical evidence needed for an innovative device and strategizing the most efficient way to acquire it. My work is driven by the conviction that innovation thrives when we eliminate excess overhead and are willing to cross geographic borders to get the evidence we need.

I am focused on MAKING IT EASY FOR MY CUSTOMER TO SUCCEED. I am passionate about creating success all around me. My career path has led my on an amazing journey through R&D, Operations, Business Intelligence, Product Management, Marketing, Sales, Business Development and now in Senior Leadership of a multi-billion dollar packaging company. This path has given me an understanding of the many challenges faced by all aspects of the businesses and allowed me to understand that everyone has their unique challenges. Born and raised in the St. Louis, Missouri (USA) area I have three sons and a daughter (two sets of twins) and an amazing wife, Megan. Not much free time but I do enjoy playing and coaching soccer (thats football for all the non-Americans) and DIY.
