In April of 2010, I assumed the position of Executive Director of Tileston Health Clinic, the Cape Fear region's oldest and largest free clinic serving those without health insurance and whose incomes fall under 300% of the federal poverty guidelines. In August 2011, we changed our name to Cape Fear Clinic, Inc. to better represent the area we serve. I am currently the President & CEO.

I have experience managing all aspects of an annual budget of $6+ million and have authored grant and contract applications that, since 1995, have generated over $100 million in direct and indirect revenue.
