About

I help a regional hospital system decide where to build clinics, which services to expand and how to pay for them. That mostly means turning messy data into decisions that real people have to live with. Before healthcare I spent a decade in management consulting, which taught me to ask the second question. I've interviewed Princeton applicants in Central Ohio since 2009 and chair our regional committee. My favorite part is hearing what a 17-year-old does on a Tuesday afternoon.
