About Me

I am a seasoned strategic leader currently serving as Senior Director of Digital Strategy Discovery at Mayo Clinic’s Center for Digital Health. Since joining Mayo Clinic in 2019, I have played a pivotal role in shaping the organization’s digital posture, particularly as part of the $5 billion Bold. Forward. Unbound. in Rochester initiative to improve delivery and support innovative care concepts in new built spaces. 

My career reflects a dynamic approach to professional growth, including seven years as a humanities or seminary professor. During this period, I edited two books, authored over 50 articles, and shaped classroom environments where students synthesized digital culture, traditional humanities, and real-world scenarios. 

With a Ph.D. in English: Rhetoric, Writing, and Culture from North Dakota State University, and degrees from Columbia Theological Seminary and St. Olaf College, I seek to blend a rich academic tapestry with practical, strategic expertise. At Mayo Clinic, I hold the faculty rank of assistant professor of Healthcare Administration and teach the course, “Humanities and Digital Health.”

In essence, I strive to be a multidimensional, deeply relational leader committed to bringing strategic acumen and intellectual depth to every endeavor. I live with my wife Megan, a pediatric physician, and daughter in Rochester, Minn.
