Here at Lucky's Adventure our motto is that Life Should be Fun! Our company is in its infancy; named after our youngest son, the company purpose is to bring a little bit of fun to every day life. Our goal is to open a social gaming cafe in the Fishers, Indiana area, focusing on board games, role-playing games (RPG's) such as Dungeons & Dragons, collectible and non-collectible card games such as Magic the Gathering and Pokemon, and table top hobby games like War Machine and Star Wars Legion. As a family of seven, we feel that the need for a family-friendly space to spend quality time outside the home is in greater demand than ever before. We hope to create an environment that accommodates the most experienced gamers while being inviting and welcoming to those that have never played. The first step towards obtaining the capital funds to open our cafe is our mostly online retail store that offers fun "nerdy" screen-printed and embroidered clothing and tote bags, hand-poured resin products such as jewelry, trinket boxes, and even classic games such as chess boards, tic tac toe, and dominoes, home-made soaps in fun shapes, and anything else we feel can spark a little fun into everyday lives. We also offer custom screen-printing on bulk orders. The funds from sales will go towards establishing the capital needed to open the cafe.

Objective Surgical is a B2B services company specializing in worker's compensation and self-pay health insurance payments. With its often pre-negotiated pricing contracts with medical providers who are well-versed in worker's compensation, the company is able to offer pre-quoted surgical packages to worker's compensation insurance adjusters. This allows for the accurate setting of reserves in what would typically be a highly variable circumstance for the adjuster to manage.As the Director of Finance I was responsible for management and organization of departmental functions as well as work assignments, training, coaching and development of four direct reports. During my time at Objective I managed all aspects of accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, financial analysis and strategic management of financial objectives. Accomplishments include building written processes for financial tracking and reporting, budgeting and review processes, and report development for all other needs of the business including strategic direction. I researched workers' compensation fee schedules and regulations for over 30 states, Medicare pricing methodologies in countless regions, and did pricing research for typical market rates for healthcare services and facility charges. I created a Medical Claims Processing department which utilized contracts with providers as well as other cost comparisons to process claims from medical service providers and facilities; this also involved researching and creating training on medical billing practices, CPT codes (common procedural terminology), Medicare reimbursement regulations, state worker's compensation reimbursement regulations, and general undjerstanding of contracts and contract law. I developed a written, proprietary method of building quotes for surgical packages and managed the software build with our developer with regards to package pricing, medical claims processing, global invoice billing, and reporting processes.

I am also a large proponent of coordination across the enterprise in order to streamline processes from a company-wide standpoint rather than each department developing their own processes which may not always flow well together.In addition to the normal Contract Accounting duties, I am also responsible for reviewing all invoices prior to submission to the customer, reconciling the general accounts receivable balances by reviewing and compiling each project reconciliation in addition to non-project adjustments, reviewing and posting revenue at each month-end close, developing and fine-tuning documented processes, working templates (mainly in MS Excel) and desk procedures for departmental tasks, as well as assisting the department manager in team building, morale, and personnel decisions.
