I joined Organ Recovery Systems in 2004 after working as an acute dialysis nurse and organ procurement coordinator during the early years of my career. Over the past 22 years, I’ve had the opportunity to be part of expanding our LifePort hypothermic machine perfusion technology across the U.S. and around the world. In fact, during my first years here, I helped establish a Houston-based LifePort Kidney Transporter preservation service to help increase transplant center adoption. Today, as Managing Director of Global Distribution, I work with partners and transplant programs around the world to continue expanding access to our technology.

My passion for transplantation began while caring for dialysis patients. I saw firsthand how difficult dialysis could be and how much kidney disease affected every part of a patient’s life. Wanting to make a greater impact, I transitioned from dialysis nursing to organ procurement and eventually to ORS. One of the most rewarding aspects of my career has been helping advance machine perfusion from limited use to widespread adoption across transplant programs worldwide.

In my free time, I enjoy supporting my wife as she grows her business and spending time with my family. I have three children, as well three dogs that keep life interesting and active. I also love traveling to new places and exploring different parts of the world.
