I am a health care consultant who specializes in health policy analysis as a platform for advocacy work. I have experience in the following systems that compose health care in America: employer driven private health insurance, self funded health & welfare plans, hospital operations, health policy analysis for government and nonprofit organizations, and significant projects with health care providers. I choose to be a part of the tsunami of systemic change needed in United States health care delivery.

My best skill is to digest complex information, both linear and nonlinear, and present it in a way that is clear and actionable. I specialize in qualitative analysis, which will be a key driver in developing better health care. I enjoy doing research, not for research's sake, but in the pursuit of ideas that can be applied and spread throughout an organization to improve a community. If you only have questions and want someone to work with you before you develop a plan of action, I am comfortable working with a high degree of unknowns.

I am seeking contacts with people who are pursuing organizational change and innovative thinking in health care, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. I want to learn what other likeminded people are doing in their work community to improve outcomes. Behind the scenes or in front of the camera, either way is fine with me.

Independent Health Care Consulting Work for my own corporation since 2002, including; physician relations and CME events, survey analysis for a grantor report, and health policy research. Prior to that, I developed web based electronic employee benefit sites for clients, but sold that upon realization that the paperless process was still too infantile for what I wanted to do in 2000. Founded my own brokerage firm for Corporate Employee Benefit Planning in 1992 and sold it in 2000 to pursue a career change. Significant experience with regional, national, and global insurance brokerage firms before 1992.
