Objectives and Key Results Manager

I currently live with my wonderful wife and our two boisterous children, aged 8 and 5. Watching my children develop their being within a nurturing and safe environment encouraged me to pursue a Master’s in Public Health. Additionally, my travels with the U.S. Navy as a non-physician clinician (over 15 years) and my encounters with diverse communities sparked my desire to help people living in low- and middle-income nations achieve similar opportunities as my children.
