I am also responsible for compliance and licensure with the Department of Health, Department of Aging and other regulatory entities.

My favorite things are my rescue dog, a cane corso mastiff named Cinder. He is a 150lb lap dog who loves belly rubs. Leisure drives with the top down and radio blasting in my Jeep. The beach is my happy place. "Vitamin Sea" fixes everything.
