BIOGRAPHY
To continue my position as a clinic faculty doctor in the Student Clinic (CCHOP) teaching basic clinical to Life University students. In the eleven years I have been preparing interns I have realized the importance of their first clinical experience not only for the main clinic but for their careers in Chiropractic. The invaluable experience I can bring into their lives, giving them an understanding of their contribution to our profession in diagnosing , patient care, skill development, documentation and the powerful need for research . Everyday I am able to enhance the growth and advancement of Life University by working with these interns. I have found this to be very fulfilling personally as well as advancing the profession of Chiropractic!
I had a banking career prior to Chiropractic. Upon graduation from Palmer College I opened a Chiropractic office in Western Kentucky. I purchased commercial real estate, built a successful practice and understand the operational and practical aspects of running a health care business, After the sale of my practice, I moved back home, to Florida where I joined a group. After a couple of years, I decided to experience Personal Injury work and joined PGLLC, a firm in Jacksonville, Fl. where I worked until joining Life University in 2010.

Have been an active OSCE committee member for nine years and still continue to develop and implement testing. I am on the Peer Review Committee, assessing files for quality. I am on the Conduct Review Board, as well as The Clinical Council Committee. I have not only been active in my church but also President of my HOA for 3 years.
