I am a disabled veteran with over 25 years of U.S. Army service in the Army Medical Corps. I am intelligent and all those in positions to evaluate my writing skills have valued them highly. I am best in staff positions where my intellect and problem solving skills are prized. My compassion and care for others make me prone to do well in situations involving healthcare and/or advocacy. The only reasons I have left the same employer twice since 1981 have been injuries and subsequent medical and/or insurance complications, which forced me to retire or resign. I have dedicated myself to even further graduate healthcare education in the hope I may contribute, in some small way, to the "cure" for our ailing American healthcare delivery system.
