I grew up wanting to be a doctor, but during college I fell in love with economics and business; I decided instead to focus my efforts on changing healthcare care delivery and business models. A surprise $3K MRI bill, learning that the out-of-pocket price for physical therapy was cheaper than my insurance copay, waiting four months for a primary care visit, and watching my brother get bounced around mental health providers deepened my conviction that we urgently need to change healthcare.  I joined CVS Health to work on accessible, affordable healthcare at scale. As the youngest director-level employee, I led projects to improve pharmacy operations, launch new services, and expand healthcare access in partnership with Lyft and the YMCA. Seeing impact across 10,000 stores exciting, but I felt a desire to go smaller and more direct. After two years at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, I decided to launch Timshel Health to partner with founders of healthcare practices who share my mission. I live in the Bay Area but will always be Midwestern at heart. I am a die-hard Chicago sports fan, avid golfer and camper, and love being outdoors with my wife Rachel and dog Fitz.
