Where Clinical
Meets Data

I'm a physician executive with 20+ years at the intersection of healthcare delivery, clinical analytics, and enterprise data strategy. My background spans health systems, payer organizations, and academic medical centers across the United States.

As Director of Clinical Analytics at Beacon Health System, I lead the analytics function supporting a multi-state integrated health system across Indiana and Michigan — driving platform modernization, governance, quality analytics, and AI strategy.

"Most analytics leaders lack clinical credibility. Most physicians lack data platform expertise. I bring both."

My work sits at the intersection of clinical leadership, analytics engineering, governance, and executive strategy — the rare combination that health systems need to truly transform.
