About Bud
The person behind the practice.
I trained as a physical therapist and began my career in acute care before making my way to home health as a field clinician. My foundation in this industry is clinical, not administrative. I've seen care from the bedside, and that perspective has shaped everything I've done since.
Over the course of my career I served as Executive Vice President for a publicly traded home health and hospice organization, leading teams focused on clinical excellence, strategy, and innovation. I've had the privilege of working alongside some of the best people in this industry, and I don't take that lightly.
I've served on boards, contributed to multiple CMS Technical Expert Panels, and remain actively engaged in shaping the future of home-based care through my work as a Health Evolution Fellow and member of the Coalition for Health AI (CHAI). I also serve as a senior advisor to several companies working to change this industry for the better, including CareBestie and Enzo Health.
Outside of work, I'm an avid cyclist, beekeeper, farmer, and rancher. Those pursuits keep me grounded, and honestly, they're not so different from what I do professionally. Both require patience, an appreciation for systems, and a willingness to do hard things in unpredictable conditions.
