Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States
I founded BAMF Health for the simple reason that patients need better outcomes, and with the right resources, we can achieve those outcomes. I have dedicated my career to building what the world’s most advanced comprehensive Theranostics center, a place our team designed to redefine what’s possible in cancer, heart, and brain diagnostics and therapeutics. Our mission is simple; to make Theranostics affordable AND accessible, as soon as possible. Science is only as powerful as our ability to get it to the bedside. Too often, innovation remains trapped in labs and slowed by fragmented systems. What we're building, the technology, infrastructure, and partnerships, brings cutting-edge discoveries into the real world, faster and more effectively than before. What sounded like science fiction has become a reality through years of persistence and dedication. I learned nothing is impossible, just very difficult at times. That journey has been recognized on a national level, including being named one of Ernst & Young’s top five healthcare entrepreneurs in the country in 2024 and receiving EY Entrepreneur of the Year honors for Michigan and Northwest Ohio. I was also honored as Healthcare Newsmaker of the Year by Crain’s Grand Rapids Business and named among West Michigan’s 200 Most Influential Leaders. Today, I continue to share this vision globally, speaking on Theranostics, the integration of AI in healthcare, and the transformation of medicine itself. But more than anything, I remain focused on what comes next… accelerating access for the patients that need it most.
