As COO, he directed over 35 programs with an annual budget of $16,900,000 and directed both their business development operations and initiatives toward developing electronic records.
Most recently, he was Executive Director of the Barbara McInnis Medical Respite in Boston, a 104-bed, nationally recognized facility specializing in medical care for persons experiencing homelessness. He was responsible for the leadership, oversight, management, and development of a nationally recognized model program, providing short-term medical respite care to medically ill homeless adults of the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP).
