After studying three and half years at the University of Missouri-Columbia, I eventually earned my Liberal Arts Degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
I founded and spent the last fifteen years managing a medical equipment company that specialized in Wheelchair Seating and Positioning for the severely disabled. I recently sold my highly regarded business and am now pursuing my passion for writing.
Besides owning and running my company, I have testified before Congress on the detrimental impacts that certain health care legislation will have on American Seniors. I have also served as a Board Member and am currently serving as President of the Midwest Association for Medical Equipment Services. I worked closely with Senator Pat Roberts of Kansas regarding questions of healthcare legislation and been recommended by him for appointment to the Program Advisory and Oversight Committee for Quality Standards and Competitive Acquisition of Certain Durable Medical Equipment. In short, I have been widely recognized in an important segment of healthcare as a knowledgeable and caring advocate for the aged and disabled.view less
