Where It All Started
I was born and raised just outside of Memphis in Collierville, Tennessee, a town where Friday night lights were more than a tradition; they were a way of life. Collierville High is where I learned to compete, to lead, and to show up for the people around me. Sports shaped a lot of who I am, but so did the community.
Growing up in West Tennessee taught me the value of hard work and humility. My family, my coaches, my teachers, they all believed in showing up and doing the job right, whether or not anyone was watching. That mindset stuck with me. Even as my path took me from the soccer field to the world of healthcare sales, those early lessons have been my compass.
Finding My Purpose in Performance
My first passion was sports. I played soccer competitively and later stepped into boxing—two arenas where pressure, preparation, and perseverance define your outcome. I didn’t know it then, but everything I was learning—mental toughness, discipline, reading people under pressure, would one day serve me well in a completely different world: the business of healing.
Sales wasn’t always on my radar. But I’ve always been drawn to performance. Not the flashy kind but the type that happens quietly, behind the scenes, where results speak louder than words. That’s what pulled me into healthcare sales. Because when it’s done right, it’s not just about selling products, it’s about helping people heal.
My First Steps in the Medical World
Getting my foot in the door wasn’t easy. Like a lot of people early in their careers, I had to prove I belonged, through persistence, curiosity, and putting in the work. My early years were spent listening more than talking. I paid attention to how providers thought. I learned the science behind the products. And I started to understand something critical: in healthcare, trust is everything.
Working in the Tennessee market gave me the chance to build strong relationships with surgeons, nurses, wound care teams, and practice managers. These weren’t just professional contacts, they became partners in improving patient care. And that made all the difference.
Bringing Innovation to the Bedside
Over the years, my role has evolved. Today, I lead a regional sales team focused on biologics, some of the most exciting advancements in regenerative medicine. We work with providers across Tennessee, helping them integrate advanced wound care and orthopedic solutions into their practice.
Biologics might sound complex, but at their core, they’re about supporting the body’s natural ability to heal. Whether it’s amniotic grafts, growth factor injections, or tissue regeneration, these tools are changing the game for patients who’ve tried everything else.
And I’ve seen the results firsthand, patients avoiding surgery, wounds finally closing, mobility being restored. Those are the stories that keep me motivated.
Memphis Grit, Statewide Impact
What I love most about this journey is that it’s deeply rooted in where I come from. Tennessee isn’t just a market for me, it’s home. I understand the people here. I’ve driven the backroads to visit clinics in Jackson, stood in hospital elevators in Nashville, and talked shop with providers in Chattanooga.
There’s a certain grit in this state. A mix of tradition and resilience. And that shows up in the way providers care for their communities. They want solutions that work, not hype. They want results, not sales talk. That’s exactly why biologics resonate here.
I’ve built my leadership approach around that same spirit—honest, practical, and patient-first. My team knows that our job isn’t just to hit numbers. It’s to bring innovation that actually helps people get better.
Lessons I Carry With Me
Looking back, the biggest lessons I’ve learned haven’t come from boardrooms or sales trainings. They’ve come from the field, from watching a provider’s face light up when a patient heals faster than expected, or from hearing a nurse say, “This made a difference.”
I’ve learned that leadership means listening. That success is about outcomes, not ego. And that the best way to grow, professionally and personally, is to stay curious, stay humble, and never lose sight of why you started.
For me, it all goes back to those early days in Collierville. The grind. The team. The belief that with enough heart and hustle, anything’s possible.
Homegrown, Forward Thinking
From Memphis roots to medical innovation, that’s been my journey. And it’s still unfolding. Every day I get to work with people who care deeply about healing, who want to see better outcomes, and who are open to the future of medicine.
I’m proud of where I come from, and I’m just as proud of where we’re headed. Because here in Tennessee, we’re not just keeping up, we’re leading. And we’re doing it the right way: by putting people first, embracing innovation, and never forgetting the power of showing up for your team.
Whether it’s on the field, in the ring, or on a hospital floor, those values don’t change. And neither do I.
