I run multi-site healthcare operations for private equity sponsors and health systems.
Twenty years running surgery centers, dialysis networks, and physician practices for KKR- and TPG-backed platforms, DaVita, and Atlas Healthcare Partners. In 2026 I built an AI-driven payer rate-intelligence platform. Now seeking my next operating seat.
Track Record
Velocity Intelligence
- Built, working solo with AI coding agents, a platform that parses the published negotiated rates of 30 payers (400+ TB) into market rate benchmarks for ASCs and physician groups
- Delivered a paid multi-payer contract-position analysis to a national dermatology platform
- Concluded the product belongs inside an operating platform; returning to a full-time operating seat
Atlas Healthcare Partners
- Ran 19 ASCs simultaneously (15 Proliance, 4 MultiCare; ~$250M of ASC revenue), about 3× a typical VP span; built the JV Board case to exit a center burning $2M a year
- Led the Atlas-Proliance MSO partnership, a $35M revenue opportunity with $12M EBITDA potential, across Proliance Surgeons' 15 ASCs and 160 independent orthopedic surgeons (a ~$500M physician-owned enterprise)
- Opened the Yakima de novo (30 cases a month by October 2025); grew NeoSpine from 164 to 227 cases a month in four months; got all 15 Proliance ASCs ready for the one-day switch from Amkai to SIS Office on September 2, 2025
2016–2019
Mosaic Healthcare Solutions
- Built an ophthalmology platform (MSO, ASC group, co-management network) and priced $2M of surgical earnings and $1M of cost synergies into the offer, moving the practice from an 8× to a 17× EBITDA letter of intent from a PE-backed strategic
- Took an ASC acquired at a distressed valuation from a $400K annual loss to $300K profit: volume doubled, survey passed, surgeons recruited
- Stood up two physician MSOs (anesthesia 2016, ophthalmology 2018); raised teammate NPS across Mosaic's managed entities from 36% to 81%
AmSurg
- Took over a book in its fourth straight year of declining earnings (core 16 centers: $40.9M to $32.0M EBITDA, 2016 to 2020); in Year 2 ran EBITDA 33% and revenue 16% over budget
- Enrolled seven California ASCs as hospitals under CMS Hospital Without Walls, the only AmSurg centers in the country to do so: $2.5M of added revenue plus a $1.2M true-up
- Built the four-year plan to protect $49M of at-risk revenue and add $78M; grew total-joint volume across eight centers from 188 cases (2019) to 647 (through August 2021); won board approval for the $20.9M Bend expansion (6 to 14 ORs)
- Revived a collapsed four-way joint venture with a large Southwest health system and closed it in nine months; the deal modeled $30M of annual revenue against $9.5M standalone
- Reorganized center leaders with home-office clinical, HR, revenue cycle, and finance support; Center Leader NPS rose from 25% to 93%
Surgical Care Affiliates
- Led a five-center region (~29K cases, ~$40M net revenue) through IPO and the $2.3B Optum acquisition; beat 2015 plan by 7% with 9% year-over-year growth
- Built the physician, health-system, and payer platform at La Veta Surgical Center and closed its March 2016 merger with Barranca and the MemorialCare buy-in; the combined center tripled after 2016 into one of the nation's largest ASCs
- Led La Veta's recapitalization, converting selling physicians' LP units to GP equity under a new SCA/MemorialCare co-GP at a 63% control premium
- President's Award for bringing Dignity Health into a Ventura County partnership with SCA, a market carve-out from USPI's nationwide exclusive with the system
- At La Veta, 2011 to 2014: cases per room per day from 4.7 to 7.1, annual cases from 7.3K to 11.1K, net revenue from $13.7M to $19.9M; partner distributions nearly doubled in two years
DaVita
- Cut the catheter rate from 30% to 14% in one year (#2 of 129 regions, up from the bottom 5%); took every facility off the company's at-risk list within a year
- Brought the region's four legacy Gambro facilities into the DaVita Way; opened four de novo facilities and two home programs (three in seven weeks) and never ran a negative-EBITDA center
- Within six months took the region from the only one in the company missing its productivity index to the only one hitting every controllable-expense measure
Velocity Intelligence
Payer rate intelligence for surgical and physician platforms
Payers publish every rate they negotiate. The files are too large for an operator to read. Velocity Intelligence parses them and shows a surgery center or physician group where it sits against its market, payer by payer and code by code.
An operator can build with AI
Designed and shipped solo with AI coding agents. First client delivered in 2026: a multi-payer contract-position analysis for a national dermatology platform.
The product belongs inside an operating platform, and so do I. I am returning to a full-time operating seat with a working fluency in AI, data, and payer contract economics.

About
I run multi-site healthcare operations. For twenty years that has meant surgery centers, dialysis clinics, and physician practices at DaVita, Surgical Care Affiliates under TPG, AmSurg under KKR, and Atlas Healthcare Partners. The pattern is the same at every stop: take a portfolio that is underperforming or in transition, get the operating cadence right, align the physicians, and let the numbers follow.
