I solve hard problems.

I provide leadership and portfolio management to teams and organizations, emphasizing process improvement, individual and team growth, and high quality deliverables.

I am a value creator, a solver of hard problems, a systems thinker, and a change agent. I bring fresh vision to both established and new organizations, finding pathways to disruption and increased market share and profits. I help companies and organizations find their new way.

I am currently working in the field of healthcare modeling and simulation as the Executive Director of the Sentara Center for Healthcare Simulation and Immersive Learning (SCHSIL) and as the Program Director of the National Center for Collaboration in Medical Modeling and Simulation, and Assistant Professor within the School of Health Professions at the Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences, Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

I also run a boutique consulting firm named Epicural, LLC that helps both startup and established businesses solve their analysis, planning, and optimization issues. Epicural takes a logical approach to solving problems that meet our customer’s capabilities and resources by making their problem our own; only through “owning it” can we ensure quality solutions for our customers.

I am a CIVIC Leadership Institute Class of 2023 Alumnus.
