Director of Software Development

I met Mike in 2017 as part of a sales training class. I had no sales experience and no knowledge of the medical device industry knowledge as I was coming directly out of the operating room. Through Mike’s patience and coaching, I was able to rise to the ranks to become the number two ranked Field Clinical Specialist within a major medical device company. Mike is very knowledgeable and has always guided me in the right direction. I will be forever grateful for his knowledge and coaching and still reach out to him today for coaching.
