I build healthcare organizations ready for scale, scrutiny, and change.

Appointed COO in 2022 to lead operational strategy and data-driven solutions. I architected the operating infrastructure supporting KindlyMD’s evolution from a single-service clinic into an integrated healthcare company and its June 2024 Nasdaq IPO. The company’s public filing described me as integral in securing banking relationships, insurance payor contracts, key location expansion, and referring partnerships.

Served as a director through KindlyMD’s transition from private company to Nasdaq-listed issuer, signed the company’s SEC registration statement as Chief Operating Officer and Director, and was reelected by shareholders in 2024. During my board tenure, I was deeply involved in the evaluation, structuring discussions, and authorization of a complex financing package that grew to approximately $763 million in announced commitments.

At its May 2025 announcement, the initial approximately $710 million capital package was publicly described as the largest capital raise to launch a Bitcoin treasury and the largest PIPE for any public crypto-related transaction.

At IASIS Healthcare, pioneered healthcare data analytics, training, and management initiatives later implemented nationwide. Following the Steward acquisition, guided nationwide hospital and clinical acquisitions and enterprise information-systems integration. The S-1 described me as Steward’s go-to expert for many critical ambulatory operations.

After multiple third-party credentialing efforts failed, I took over payer access personally. Starting without prior credentialing experience, I learned the process from the ground up, built direct relationships with payer decision-makers, and secured participation that allowed KindlyMD to evolve from a cash-pay cannabis clinic into an insured integrated-care organization.

I also built the documentation and compliance controls that supported a major Utah commercial payer audit completed with no findings or corrective notes. The auditor reported that it was the first review in her experience to close without a note.

Spearheaded the development and implementation of a formal medical-cannabis clinical pathway for Utah’s Third District Veterans Treatment Court. Over approximately ten months, I worked directly with court and government stakeholders to shape the policy framework, clinical safeguards, referral process, information-sharing standards, and integrated-care model adopted by the program.

Policy #17 expressly names KindlyMD and establishes a whole-person assessment model integrating mental health services, traditional medication, and plant-based alternatives, with defined processes for referrals, ethical information sharing, and ongoing participant oversight.

Designed and operationalized an integrated-care model that aligned physicians and behavioral-health clinicians around shared patient goals. When differences in clinical language and workflow created communication gaps, I built practical handoff and case-communication processes that allowed both disciplines to coordinate treatment in real time rather than operate in parallel.

That included structured provider handoffs, brief real-time case debriefs, and, when appropriate, transitions conducted with the patient present so medical and behavioral-health plans remained aligned and patients understood how each part of their care fit together.
