Briefly describe your professional career, including your employment history and notable accomplishments.
I spent over 25 years involved in the management of healthcare organizations spanning the continuum of information systems to senior level executive positions. Notably, I was involved in assembling the earliest managed care provider networks for rehabilitation in the country, serving as President for the national board that changed the way services were provided in the industry.
My professional positions included CEO of APTP, a managed care organization for rehabilitation; Co-Founder of Quadragen, an e-Clinical Services Company; Senior Vice President of Global Services for CB Technologies, a technology company providing services to clinical research organizations; Executive Director of RBPT, a multi-site rehabilitation provider; and Practice Manager for multiple physician offices in the Reading Health System.
My current position is another entrepreneurial one as I opened my own small business in downtown State College.
Please list honors, awards, and professional achievements.
Professionally, I have served on numerous boards for both industry and non-profits and have a long-standing record of volunteer service back to Penn State through the Alumni Association. At the Great Valley campus, I was named Alumni Volunteer of the Year in 2009 and was recognized with a Leaders, Achievers and Champions Award in 2013.
