I’m honored to join this exceptional cohort of private equity and venture capital professionals through the 2025 VC Include Fellowship.

With a foundation in aerospace, defense, and government, I’m now excited to bring those operational insights to support HealthTech and MedTech founders advancing transformative innovation. This fellowship also offers a unique opportunity to operationalize my doctoral research, which explored how HealthTech influences decision-making performance to improve patient care outcomes.

There’s important work ahead, and I look forward to expanding my impact within the entrepreneurial ecosystem and helping shape a dynamic investment landscape.

As I prepare to turn another year older tomorrow, I find myself in a reflective space tonight. With each passing year, life’s milestones seem to carry more weight—each win, each loss, every lesson along the way has shaped who I am. I’m truly grateful. Another trip around the sun, and by God’s grace, I’m still growing. 🌅🎉
Last week, I spoke to a group of high school seniors—many preparing for college or military service. One young man asked me, “What’s your proudest accomplishment?”

It gave me pause.

Without hesitation, I told him my family is my greatest accomplishment—no title, degree, or accolade could ever compare. But after a moment of thought, I shared that earning my Ph.D. is in second place. I never imagined pursuing such a demanding academic path. My research was born from personal tragedy, but that journey has turned into purpose, and I pray it will ultimately lead to meaningful change in healthcare.
So, in the spirit of reflection, I’m sharing this photo from my 2023 doctoral hooding ceremony. It reminds me that even from pain, purpose can rise—and that the journey is worth it. 🎓❤️

Great things happen when passionate minds come together! Grateful to have spent the day with incredible leaders and changemakers at the NC Rural Center’s Quarterly CDFI Networking Meeting—a powerful space for collaboration, innovation, and impact.

From dynamic discussions on Venture Capital, technical assistance, and SSBCI to exchanging strategies that drive real economic growth, the momentum being built is undeniable. Excited for what’s ahead in 2025!

SDVOSB lost certification and was subbing out all the work. Do you still want to sub out all the work?

I tried to warn YouTube about using the Middleman Strategy, but many did not want to listen. Ignorance and misinterpretation of the rules are NOT valid excuses. BTW, Steve is a reputable and seasoned attorney within the government contracting domain -- please peruse his resume on LinkedIn. Here is the link to the protest: bit.ly/3xUwF45
