| Location | United States |
| Introduction | There's no substitute for years of experience. I've spent over half my life in pharmacy. Retail chain,independent, compounding, home infusion, specialty and industry. I have been on P & T committees, in contracting negotiations with insurance companies, and managed at all levels. I believe the variety of positions I've held has given me a unique perspective on the issues we face. I'm also very disappointed and angry over what pharmacy has become. We must protect our patients by regaining control of our profession if we wish to be considered professionals. |
| Interests | Returning pharmacy to a profession helping patients instead of the current state of churning metrics to allow upper management to hit their bonus goals. We must reverse corporate and governmental abuse of the profession. We need to get off our collective asses, get vocal and get involved or we will fail ourselves and our patients that depend on us...... Oh, and early retirement |
