Message

At Mercy Hospital, I provide strategic direction for physical plant operations and non-strategic construction across hospital campuses and regional clinic facilities. I maintain survey readiness across TJC, CMS, NFPA, state licensure, building codes, and OSHA standards, and coordinate capital planning and renovation projects.

I also spearhead utility management and energy reduction initiatives, reducing HVAC malfunctions by 30% through enhanced preventive maintenance. Earlier at Mercy Hospital, I worked as a Maintenance Technician, maintaining hospital systems and equipment; I also owned and operated an agricultural facility at SIMMONS FOODS.
