He has served in several leadership positions in the University, including as Assistant Vice Chancellor for Clinical Affairs / Executive Director for Medical Services for the Faculty Practice Plan. Locally, he helped establish the St. Louis Region’s system and organization for coordinating strategic disaster planning.
