For the last 17 years I’ve been doing everything I can to fix health care for as many people as possible. It’s time for me to launch a new company and a new chapter with Lucky Sage.

Thanks Ray. Sadly, my father passed away this month. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to attend MASCC this year but I am very glad I did.
