About Me

In my role I champion the voice of the patient, designing care experiences and business models that nail their Job to Be Done, and curate the voices of the Innovation Engine and other innovation thought leaders as host of A Sherpa’s Guide to Innovation podcast. 

I learned to speak Spanish fluently as a 19-year old serving the Hispanic immigrant community in South Carolina for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

My prior career experience includes Spanish language instruction, social entrepreneurship, healthcare startups, and hospital system corporate strategy. It's possible my love of American history and literature influenced my preference for schools named after famous Americans, receiving my undergraduate degree in American Studies from Brigham Young University and a graduate degree in Healthcare Administration from The George Washington University.

I'm married to Jackie and we are the parents of five boys.
