Favorite quote: "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam ("I shall either find a way or make one") - HannibalAll my work has invariably featured an audacious belief that the right partners, focused by the right plan and with the right resources, can change the world. As a founder, board director, executive, and employee, I have:• Helped shape and execute long-term strategic plans based on metrics of success via planned interventions. • Helped earn transformational funding (venture capital, corporate sponsorships, contracts, and grants) with particular success in large-scale foundation and government-funded programs (DOD, DOL, SBA, USDA, etc.). • Have built public/private programs, local and national partnerships, and I am leading efforts to shape statewide legislative efforts to build resources to stop infectious disease.• Co-authored global patents and peer-reviewed publications spanning public health, animal health, wildlife interventions for disease, and corporate policies and best practices• Have led media and awareness campaigns generating global media buy-in, and I have served as an invited speaker to share my knowledge and experiences in One Health. My companies have spanned several industries, including biotechnology, technology, the arts, and medtech workforce development. Each company had its achievements, and I successfully exited one company in the mobile apps space. I am honored now to be a co-founder, executive, and board director at U.S. Biologic, Inc., a social-innovation company focused on the reduction of global zoonotic diseases via a proprietary oral-delivery system (vaccines and therapeutics) guided by predictive analytics (AI / ML) toolsets.
