PEOPLE. SYSTEMS. POSSIBILITY.
Healthcare IT leader.
Builder of teams & better systems.
I connect technology, strategy, and people to make healthcare work better.
Dayton, Minnesota Thoughtful by design.
Thoughtful technology.
Better care.
I’m a healthcare IT leader with 20 years of experience turning complex systems into practical tools for the people who depend on them. My work sits at the intersection of enterprise strategy, clinical operations, and technology.
At HealthPartners, I lead radiology and imaging applications, shaping the portfolio’s roadmap and helping teams put AI and automation to work with clear governance and clinical purpose.
Along the way, I’ve led clinical application teams, built automated security provisioning, and helped health systems navigate large Epic implementations. The common thread is simple: build trust, make the work clearer, and help good people do their best work.
Selected results from my career; see experience and resume for context.

ON MEDIUM · TECHNICAL SERIES
Notes from building at the intersection of open-source software, modern infrastructure, and AI in medical imaging.
An MBA with a marketing specialization from East Texas A&M University and a BS in Business Information Systems from the University of Phoenix shape how I connect technical decisions to organizational goals.
I also served as co-chair (2021) and chair (2022) of the Technology Association of Iowa’s DEI Committee.
