Why did you choose CONMED?
I was an employee referral. When the opportunity with CONMED came up, I was not in search mode; however, once I was introduced to CONMED’s culture, I was hooked. I could tell from the beginning that CONMED invests in the development of its team. It was an easy decision.

Why Advanced Surgical?
I loved the aggressiveness that Advanced Surgical showed in its vision for the future of the division and CONMED as a whole, and we have AirSeal!

What does a typical day in your role look like?
Good things happen in the OR! My typical day consists of either scheduled cases or popping in to see what’s going on with various customers. My territory is fairly large both in the number of accounts and geography, so I have to make sure I don’t stay away from any one account for too long. I focus a lot of my time on moving capital deals forward since those tend to be longer sales cycles. Probably my favorite part of any day though is chiming in on whatever topic is being discussed on the North Texas group text. We are a tight team, and we lean on each other constantly. Whether being the resource or the one asking for help, I love to interact with the rest of my Region daily.

How have you grown since coming into this role?
This may sound a little cheesy, but I don’t care. CONMED quite literally changed my life. I have grown in the sense that these last five years have made me a better husband and father to my family because I am not forced to leave home each day to go work at a job I hate. I love what I do, and I love where I’m doing it! I am better at my professional craft than I used to be too, because of the phenomenal leadership and team members surrounding me, but my growth is best measured by CONMED’s impact on how I am able to lead my family.

What do you think makes you successful in this role?
Without question, the key to my success in this role is my willingness acknowledge the strengths of those around me. I lean on my teammates and leadership. Someone else within CONMED contributes something to my success daily. I’m committed and I grind, but I can’t do it alone. CONMED has the best talent and culture in the industry, and I am not afraid to tap into that. I am wholeheartedly bought into what CONMED is actively doing the medical industry and am excited for the bright future I have at this company.
