Bio

I have been very blessed over my career to be surrounded by leaders in the healthcare industry. Each of which took me under their wings and mentored me. I began my career at a national healthcare engineering firm as a fire sprinkler designer and quickly added on fire alarm and other low voltage work. A few years one of the executives saw something in me and gave me an opportunity to lead business development for the company. While in business development I learned how to work with clients to figure out what their needs and how to stay on top of hot topics in the industry and work with our team to formulate solutions. I left the company and joined a regional fire alarm/sprinkler/security contracting company. I was hired on to lead business development, marketing, and sales. The most important lesson I learned was that there were large gaps between design to construction to operations to maintenance. I was then very blessed to be brought into Baptist Health. I oversee Joint Commission compliance, energy management, construction policies and procedures, and several other areas as needed. I love the diversity the job brings and the opportunity to soak up knowledge from our team. In addition to my current job at Baptist, Lindsey and I co-founded Legacy FM, LLC. Legacy FM was founded on the concept of The Legacy Project. The project, a long-term work in progress, aims to close the technical gap between those exiting the industry and those just entering into it. I am a licensed Fire Protection Engineer (PE) Senior Status as ASHE (SASHE) and Certified Healthcare Facility Manager (CHFM) with specialized expertise in life safety compliance and energy management. I can find a bright-side to any scenario and believe that a genuine smile is the most simple form of kindness you can show others. Do everything to the best of your ability, promote others above yourself and simply show others you care and the world will just be a little better.
