About

Working with Labor Funds who are focused on brining the most state of the art, innovative solutions that enhance a member and their family's benefit experience. Delivering services that improve patient outcomes, reduce the hassles associated with accessing care and reducing overall costs to the Funds is what keeps me on the move and keeps me motivated. Having worked my entire career with employers and plan sponsors, I enjoy partnering with them to addresses the tightrope walk of how to offer the best benefits and manage the ever increasing costs associated with those benefits. I particularly enjoy seeing a collective strategy come to a successful conclusion with little or no member disruption.
