HOME TOWN:

 Our family recently relocated from California back home to Arkansas and loves living in Searcy.

FAMILY: 

My incredible wife, Carrie, and I are blessed with our children Madeleine, 18, a college freshman; Luke, 8, our second-grader; and Anne Marie, 4, who is in pre-K.

EDUCATION:  

I received a Bachelor of Music from Henderson State University and then attended the University of Houston – Clear Lake, where I earned a Master of Healthcare Administration and a Master of Business Administration.

WORK: 

I recently joined Unity Health as President and Chief Executive Officer and have more than 20 years in the healthcare industry.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR FIELD:

PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU’RE MOST PROUD OF: 

I am so incredibly proud of the work we have done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, showing up each day to unknown challenges to take care of our friends and neighbors.

We are excited to be involved in the Searcy community and are just beginning our transition to a new church family here in Arkansas.

MOST CHERISHED POSSESSION: 

Time with my family exploring The Natural State.
