Principal Field Clinical Engineer
Biomedical engineering in the field, where neuromodulation technology meets the patient. Based in Dallas, working nationwide.
About
I'm a biomedical engineer who has spent more than a decade working with neuromodulation therapies: spinal cord, deep brain, responsive, and dorsal root ganglion stimulation. I've worked the full life of a therapy, from early cases and clinical trials through commercial launch, field training, and broad adoption.
The work sits at the intersection of clinical support and commercial strategy, but the goal underneath never changes: the best possible outcome for every patient. Running clinical trials, launching new accounts, training new field engineers, and connecting teams across the organization all serve that end. A device's potential only matters once it's realized in a real patient's life, and closing that gap is the part of the job I care about most.
