What’s Local HomeHemo?

Meet the Team

Following my military career, I served as a Police Officer, where I spent three years on our regional SWAT team. This experience honed my ability to perform under pressure and reinforced my commitment to serving and protecting others.

Now, as an entrepreneur, I continue to serve my community through our healthcare company. We have proudly served thousands of clients across Washington and Idaho, always striving to enhance their quality of life. My exposure to the healthcare industry has led me to a clear conclusion: “We must do better.”

I am dedicated to being a part of that change, ensuring that every individual in our care receives the dignity, respect, and quality service they deserve. Together, we can make a profound difference.
