Beginning in 2003, I served as Worldwide Director of Operations for Cardiovations, an Ethicon Business Unit, focused on creating a less-invasive future in cardiac surgery. In 2004 I, along with my family , relocated to Shanghai, China, where I was the Director of Operations for Asia and a member of Ethicon¿s Worldwide Operations Leadership Team (WWOLT).

I still keep in contact with Percy and have exchanged correspondences with Curtis Jenkins and Darious Clay from the class of 1981. Take care everyone and God bless.
