Bio
I am currently a nurse manager for a 30 bed Surgical Trauma and Telemetry unit at a Level I trauma center in Denver, Colorado. Prior to this, I was a staff nurse in the Emergency Department. I have work in Med/Surg, Critical Care, Hospice, Rehab and pretty much anywhere I am needed. Prior to my career in nursing I worked in healthcare finance and management. I feel this give me a perspective on nursing that managers never see. Away from work I spend all my time with my wife and daughter. I enjoy running and swimming, and am a die-hard NASCAR fan. So, Sundays you can find me watching the race with my daughter.

You need someone who will be there when you need a little pat on the back…and who will be completely honest with you when you’re screwing up.
