Specialization in healthcare + education

Joined Schaefer in 2017

I don’t have a single inspiration. Rather, I like to study current + past leaders as a source for inspiration and how to think + approach situations. I like to consume biographies, podcasts, and papers on former business leaders and historical figures. Humanity and the way we operate haven’t changed dramatically in recent history. So, learning from Napoleon to Churchill to Rockefeller to Bezos, Kelleher, Munger, Dell … I try to pick up a little from each and use their successes and failures to inform how I think + operate.

I think it’s safe to say that healthcare is still my personal specialty. I have been fortunate to work on projects large + small for a good number and wide variety of healthcare systems in half a dozen or more states from east coast to west coast. I love working in healthcare because of the very tangible feeling of improving the local community. I find it extremely rewarding to work on a construction project that really just turns into a building or a “place” where healthcare professionals do their thing- making sick people better + being much more courageous, passionate, and CARING than I can ever offer.
