After serving for four years as a Hospital Corpsman in the US Navy, I worked as a Respiratory Therapist.  Upon receiving my nursing degree I was employed in the areas of Pediatrics, Medical Surgical, Critical Care, Post Anesthesia Care, Home Health Care Provider and as a Case Manager.  With the help of dedicated friends I founded Health & Home Services in 1998.  With 30 years of service in the medical field, I am fortunate and proud to be a part of our RN owned and managed company.  I feel that our first and foremost responsibility is to always hire, train and manage the best people available to provide care to the communities we serve.
