Joe, Clinical & Technical Advisor

I joined Organ Recovery Systems six years ago as a Clinical and Technical Advisor training clients on our LifePort medical devices. However, I was introduced to LifePort Kidney Transporter and many of my ORS team members in 2011 while working as an Organ Recovery Specialist at Versiti in Wisconsin. It was this hands-on experience with LKT as well as the ORS team’s enthusiasm for it that led me to ORS. My role here is very rewarding. I truly enjoy seeing procurement and transplant teams become comfortable pumping kidneys and livers independently.

In my free time, I can be found in the woods, on a lake, or in my workshop restoring old items that some people consider “junk.” Outside of working in the operating room, building furniture and restoring old advertising signs is my passion. Working for ORS enables me to pursue both. I’m proud to work for a company with a great mission, and terrific people, products, and clients.
