euticals, joined several firms, promoting open heart equipment, spending most hours in the operating room. Spent half that career in management, including a vice presidents position. Later started my own durable medical equipment company, as well as doing all the national Medicare, Medicaid, and co-insurance billing, for over 11 years. It was a very successful enterprise. Sold the company,and retired. Took on consulting positions - retired again. Am now studying for my financial license, and have been hired by The ARIS Group, dealing primarily with MESA. Which I very much look forward to.
I have been very fortunate to be able to travel extensively, which we continue to do. Still play a lot of tennis, work out, mountain bike, hike, and downhill ski. Staying in shape, reading, and politics are a passion. Photography and wine are a never ending enjoyable hobby.
