Kevin has over 20 years of experience in both clinical and management roles within the healthcare sector. His passion for transforming healthcare delivery is evident through his focus on technology, process improvement, and enhancing quality standards. 

As a board-certified physician assistant, Kevin has contributed his expertise to hospital quality improvement committees and has held the position of president at the Colorado Academy of Physician Assistants. Additionally, he plays a vital role as an advisor in Colorado’s healthcare startup community, where he provides guidance on both business and clinical matters.
