I build healthcare from the inside.
Two decades inside the systems most healthcare leaders only consult to. Critical access hospitals. Urban Indian health centers. Farmworker health. Tribal nations. Operator, founder, author, podcaster, currently leading Indigenous Healthcare Advancements.

The work predates the company. It will outlast it.
My career has been spent inside the systems the mainstream model doesn't fit. Critical access hospitals. Urban Indian health centers. Pediatric clinics for farmworker families. Tribal nations. Indigenous Healthcare Advancements is the current vehicle for this work, but the work predates IHA and will outlast it. The thread is the same wherever I'm sitting: build healthcare that fits the community, run it from the inside, and leave it stronger than I found it.
Bring me into the work
Advisory, interim leadership, board engagements, speaking. If your community needs someone who has done it, not just studied it, let's talk.
