With more than 20+ years of experience in information systems, process improvement and strategic management, he enhances Laser Spine Institute’s medical experience for our patients and teammates. He earned his Master of Business Administration from Marquette University and is a certified Project Management Professional. Chris also earned his Bachelor of Arts in Management Information Systems and Marketing from the University of Wisconsin. Chris's experience includes reputable organizations such as Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, Impact Advisors and Cancer Treatment Centers of America. He is also a member of the College of Information Health Executives (CHIME), Project Management Institute (PMI), Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and has presented nationally/regionally for these organizations. Chris currently serves as a founding board member of the Tampa chapter of the Society of Information Management (SIM).
