Category(ies): Family Medicine | Physician

I am a nationally recognized physician-entrepreneur, business strategist, and mentor with over three decades of experience in medicine and business. As the founder of Physician Entrepreneur Academy: SimpliMD, I have dedicated my career to empowering physicians and healthcare professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complex intersection of medicine and business.

My journey into physician entrepreneurship began when he transitioned from traditional employment to self-employment, successfully building and managing multiple physician micro-corporations. My expertise spans practice optimization, telehealth innovation, medical device development, and real estate investments, making me a sought-after thought leader in the healthcare business space.

I have spoken at national and international conferences, authored influential content on healthcare entrepreneurship, and guided countless professionals in achieving financial and professional independence. My ability to distill complex business strategies into practical, actionable steps has made me a trusted advisor and educator in the medical community.

Through Physician Entrepreneur Academy: SimpliMD, I continue my mission of helping physicians, NPs, PAs, CRNAs, and podiatrists embrace self-employment, create sustainable businesses, and take ownership of their careers in an era of increasing corporatization in healthcare.
