Experience
Chief Executive Officer
Dec 2022 — Present · Muskogee, OK, US
I’m a healthcare entrepreneur, founder, and operator focused on building high-integrity care models in underserved communities.I’ve launched and scaled multiple ventures in healthcare and field-based service delivery, including: • RapidCare – a mobile response system focused on rapid, in-home intervention for patients with urgent needs • Advanced Wound Therapy – a mobile wound care clinic delivering access to care for patients with mobility challenges in metropolitan areas • Native Wound Therapy – a mobile-first wound care platform built to serve tribal, rural, and underserved communities with speed, integrity, and cultural alignmentI launched Native Wound Therapy to bridge the gap between clinical excellence and cultural respect—especially in tribal and rural health systems. My background includes EMS, helicopter medicine, and disaster response. That experience shaped how I lead today: with urgency, ethics, and relentless follow-through.I’m also a husband, a father, and a servant leader who believes that if you care for your team, they’ll care for your patients. My work today spans wound care expansion, regulatory innovation, emerging regenerative therapies, healthcare innovation, and practical technology solutions that actually work in the field with a constant drive to replace what’s broken, not just compete with it.
