My History

I grew up as an Air Force brat in Japan and then Hawaii. Was 16 years old when I finally moved back to the States. High School was Kemper Military School & Academy, Booneville Mo., Kemper was a West Point Prep Academy. At the end of college a series of events gave me an opportunity to move to Hollywood as a talent booking agent for recording artist touring nationally. Living in Hollywood for over 7 years, was successful by working on the finance and business side. I moved from an agent to national tour manager then A&R Director for Little David Records (Division of Atlantic Records). This was the mid 70’s and a wild and crazy place. Worked with many artists that rose to different levels of stardom. However, working for George Carlin's manager and George directly was the highlight of my time in the Record business.

Then left California to go to work for a major land developer in Denver Colorado (Roxborough Park). That job provided a great learning experience and a new career path. Was asked to go to work for even a larger land developer (Castle Pines Land Company).

In this second real estate endeavor, I functioned as the V.P. of Governmental and Community Affairs. Representing Castle Pines to County Land Use Committees, County Commissioners and State Agencies.

In the Mid 80s I took a three-year sabbatical.

Going back to my love of the ocean moved to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Got my US Coast Guard Captains License, and work as Sailboat Charter Captain. Also, was able to do some professional Scuba Diving.

Returned to the mainland and resumed working in Colorado real estate. Real estate sales and mortgage financing were additional skills developed during this period.

However, one of the founders of West Hudson, healthcare productivity consulting company convinced me to leave Claremont Homes, Castle Pines and enter healthcare workforce productivity improvement consulting, this was the end of the 80's. The beginning of Managed Care.
