Current Work & Causes
Systems Analyst
Since April 2026, I have been having the time of my life with the Iowa Primary Care Association as my full-time employer. I administer the Power Platform system and assist with other technology projects.
My current areas of focus are our new Microsoft Dynamics Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and harnessing the utility of Microsoft Power Automate to reduce manual labor/time needed for repetitive tasks.
The Iowa Primary Care association is a non-profit that supports crucial Iowa community health centers and the State of Iowa’s behavioral health services. It’s a privilege to work with my dedicated colleagues in a wholesome culture that directly contributes to the success of Iowa’s healthcare providers.
Deacon & Worship Leader
Since 2023, I have served as a worship leader for Liberty Evangelical Free Church, allowing me to periodically lead the congregation in worship as a pianist and vocalist.
Since 2025, I have also been serving a three-year term as a deacon for Liberty. My designated areas to support are technology, missions, and worship. The purpose of deacons are to support the the physical and logistical needs of the church (and its members) so that the elders and pastoral staff can focus on spiritual needs.
I love being part of the Evangelical Free denomination because it does not dictate everything we must believe, instead urging unity in the essentials and charity in the non-essentials.
Webmaster & Heartland Member Coordinator
Since 2024, I have been involved in various capacities with the American Solidarity Party. I served as a State Coordinator for Iowa and was an elected delegate to the National Convention in 2025.
I currently serve as the party’s national webmaster and am assisting with member coordination for the Heartland region.
The American Solidarity Party was formed in 2011 and is influenced by Catholic Social Teaching to embrace common-sense, middle ground approaches to everyday problems. Uniquely, the American Solidarity Party is essentially socially conservative and economically liberal.
Previous Work
IT Operations Coordinator @ Indian Hills Community College
September 2025 – April 2026
I coordinated the IT Infrastructure team with six direct reports. I became proficient as a SysAid administrator and as a Microsoft 365 Exchange & Teams administrator. This was my first exposure to Microsoft Defender & Intune administration. I also obtained a Fortinet Certified Associate certification.
IT Specialist @ Kinetic Edge Physical Therapy
June 2024 – September 2025
I worked as the sole IT member of this incredible healthcare provider. I coordinated with the managed services provider frequently and cut new IT inventory acquisition cost in half. I led the technical Electronic Health Record transition from Raintree to Net Health for 92 therapists and supporting users across nine locations. I implemented M*Modal Fluency Direct speech recognition for providers and migrated all staff from local shared storage to SharePoint & OneDrive.
Director of Assisted Living & Long-Term Care Nurse @ WesleyLife
January 2024 – May 2024
I learned a lot of hard lessons about clinical leadership, resource allocation, and decision-making. I led a team of 20 staff members across two assisted living programs. I also eliminated paper scheduling by implementing OnShift to provide a single source of scheduling truth across both assisted living facilities.
Technical Project Manager @ Prominence Advisors
November 2022 – December 2023
I managed metric dashboard implementation/transition projects for multi-state health systems (Qlik, Tableau, & Power BI). I take pride knowing my work supported the work of health systems that served around 2.8 million patients. I also streamlined project delivery through development of standardized Trello board templates.
Clinical Systems Analyst @ Pella Regional Health Center
June 2019 – November 2022
I specialized in MEDITECH Expanse Web Ambulatory to support around 50 clinic providers and around 70 nurses across six locations, helping to facilitate the conversion from MEDITECH 6.15 to Expanse. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I helped fast-track virtual visit platform implementation to less than two weeks for all clinic providers and speech therapists. I conducted optimization sessions for ambulatory departments and served as the Dragon Medical One dictation system administrator.
Triage Nurse @ Pella Regional Health Center
September 2018 – June 2019
I functioned as the lead walk-in clinic nurse for weekend operations and developed standardized walk-in program workflows and training materials to reduce patient wait times and improve care consistency with sustainable processes.
Critical Care Nurse @ UnityPoint Health
October 2017 – August 2018
My first nursing job was in the fast-paced Intensive Care Unit at Iowa Methodist Medical Center, and I realized after nearly a year that I was not built for acute care nursing! I got a good deal of experience caring for patients with neurological, trauma, cardiac, and other critical illnesses.
Long-Term Care Nurse @ WesleyLife
October 2017 – May 2018
After getting my nursing license, I freelanced for WesleyLife’s Pella facilities (Hearthstone) as a long-term care nurse, caring for patients in long-term care, memory care, and skilled care.
Emergency Medical Technician @ Pella Community Ambulance
June 2013 – May 2018
I was blessed to be able to get my EMT license in high school and volunteer with Pella Community Ambulance for a few years until I got married and had to reprioritize my free time. In addition to functioning as an EMT, I served as webmaster for the organization after rebuilding their website (until they were acquired by the City of Pella).
Patient Care Technician @ Pella Regional Health Center
May 2014 – June 2016
I worked in the emergency department (and cross-trained to the Medical/Surgical unit) as a tech, working both day and night shifts during my years at Central College. I was first inspired to do nursing while working with the excellent nursing staff, and it was a formative experience.
Resident Assistant @ Central College
August 2014 – May 2016
I spent both of my years at Central College as a resident assistant in Scholte Hall, taking freshman halls both years. My now-wife and I created informational posters for students, and I was elected as Scholte Hall president my senior year.
Nutrition Services Worker @ Pella Regional Health Center
June 2013 – June 2014
My first job was also one of my favorites. I prepared and delivered patient meals across hospital units, spending most of the time serving the long-term care residents as Pella Regional Health Center had an in-house long-term care unit at the time. I fell in love with the hospital in this environment and enjoyed doing my part to bring joy and nutrition to patients.
