A Legacy of Excellence in Jacksonville

Since 1993, I’ve consulted on numerous healthcare advisory services in Jacksonville, Florida, where I’ve also served as a Medical Director for Occupational Health and Sports Medicine. My role in this capacity allowed me to enhance workforce health, safety, and well-being across  1,000 companies in Florida. I’ve spearheaded corporate health and wellness, managed thousands of workers' compensation and disability claims, and led specialized health clinics through complex Medicare and Medicaid processes.  More recently, my focus has expanded to include advising companies on health insurance cost savings and health and productivity management.

Leadership and Entrepreneurship

My career is not only marked by my clinical practice but also by my entrepreneurial ventures. I founded and served as Chief Medical Officer for the HIT Center of Jacksonville, offering high-intensity training and performance testing for for elite athletes.  Additionally, I established  Corporate Medicine, providing medical director and advisory services to corporations in North Florida.  Currently, as CEO and Founder of Corporate Medical Partners, I offer medical director and medical advisory services to corporations of all sizes. Likewise have established "Disinterested Board Services" to corporations.

A Commitment to Sports Medicine

My passion for sports medicine has driven me to work extensively with athletes across various levels. From treating sprained ankles and rotator cuff injuries to managing exercise-induced asthma, I’ve dedicated myself to optimizing health for both professional athletes and recreational runners. As the head team physician at the University of North Florida from 1993-2014, I’ve had the privilege of caring for athletes in multiple sports, including football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. My involvement with the Jacksonville Sports Medicine Program has also allowed me to support young athletes in the community.
