  Pullman foursquare church

  Aug 1992 - Apr 1999

  Assistant pastor

  Fresh out of college, I took the $100 a month job (woo-hoo!) and became the campus pastor for college students. From there I moved into assisting the senior pastor with all aspects of church life: leadership training, small groups ministry, worship pastor, marketing, bookkeeping, and facilities management. Much of our work was collaborative with other campus ministries as we sought to break down barriers between churches. We had the most cutting edge web page of any church we knew in the mid-90's as HTML broke onto the scene. Show less

  Family advocate program

  Jun 2000 - Jun 2006

  Operations manager/bookkeeper

  ​​Family Advocates is a private not-for-profit agency working to strengthen families ​​and keep kids safe by empowering everyday people to protect and enrich the lives of youth. It serves the 10 counties of Southwest Idaho through the CASA program, representing abused children and providing in-home parent education utilizing trained volunteers.During my tenure I brought the organization's accounting out of the dark ages and into a computerized accounting system, eliminating material weaknesses and significant findings from a Federal Single Audit prior to my arrival. I oversaw a $1 million budget in my role, functioning as the controller of the organization. Most of this money was through a large federal grant with the Department of Education. I moved the organization out of "dial-up" and into a fully networked computer system, managing the file and email server and other technologies. Much of my "spare time" was spent helping with grant writing, marketing, volunteer recruitment and management, tech support, facilities, and community networking. For three years, I wrote and produced the Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month television ad for the Idaho Child Abuse Prevention Coalition. I also created a statewide outcomes measurement database for the Idaho Parent Information Resource Center, a donor and volunteer tracking database, and an auction registration and checkout database.

I consulted with other free-clinics in SW Idaho get started and grow to their own place of maturity, networking them together for greater overall effectiveness. During my term of leadership, the organization helped build a financially self-sustaining clinic in Kenya that provides 30,000 patient visits annually as well as a community health empowerment project in an isolated village.

  Ada county medical society, inc.

  Oct 2014 - now

  Executive director

  ACMS connects the docs of Ada and Elmore Counties and nothing gives me greater pleasure than helping make those connections. I am responsible for leading our local physicians' membership association, now comprised of more than 2700 doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, medical students and residents. My job involves the nuts to soup of event planning, marketing and design work, publications, business and sponsor development, coalition building, member education and everything in between.What I am most passionate about is helping return the practice of medicine that is focused on serving people, not productivity and profits. The rapid industrialization of healthcare, combined with overburdensome regulations, has destroyed the connections between people who practice medicine, accelerating burnout, depression, and occupational PTSD. We must rehumanize healthcare by working to rebuild what carried most physicians through their careers, in spite of the difficulty of the work they do. Show less
