He meets with key federal agencies and Capitol Hill staff on healthcare issues important to its members and the distribution industry. He is also in charge of the HIDA PAC, the political action committee for the healthcare distribution industry – where he strategically directs its’ financial resources to best support candidates and members of Congress who are champions of the supply chain and healthcare distribution. He previously worked on Capitol Hill, serving as a Legislative Assistant for Representative Renee Ellmers (R-NC), a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and with Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), the Senate Minority Whip. On Capitol Hill, he handled a wide range of issues for the Congresswoman including Healthcare, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Labor, Immigration, Transportation/FAA, Education, and Homeland Security issues. His legislative focus was mixed with a focus on communications strategy and message development – because in a Congressional office, messaging is everything, and crises are common. Prior to his work in Washington, he worked extensively in the healthcare field, spending time as an educator on the ever-changing healthcare industry and consulting small to medium sized business owners on how to best meet the needs of their employees concerning healthcare.

He is an avid college football fan, wood worker, and entrepreneur. He and his wife love to travel, having visited more than 75 cities across 4 continents in nearly 10 years of marriage. Regardless of location, he is in continual pursuit of the perfect breakfast taco, and considers himself a true breakfast taco connoisseur.
