I've spent the last 25+ years obsessed with learning more about implantable cardiac devices. I started as an engineer in-house at Guidant when I was 21 years old and went to the field with the company at 24. That's when I realized... there's always a way to be better. There's always a way to build better devices, to make it easier for physicians to treat their patients and to make it easier for those patients to not feel like patients all the time.

I was blessed to be a part of the Cameron Health team, developing the world's first implantable subcutaneous ICD (S-ICD) that didn't require any leads/wires to be attached to the heart. Tens of thousands of patients are now protected from sudden cardiac death... and their veins and heart remain free of unnecessary hardware. A better way.

I co-founded AtaCor Medical to continue the desire to simplify cardiac device therapies for physicians and patients. No more leads in the heart. No more batteries in the heart. This is truly... a better way.
