Autumn greetings Mideast Region!
I am your newly elected President of the MidEast Region Board. I reside in Huntington, West Virginia with my very precocious wiener dog fur child, “Stinky”. I have 3 grown children, 2 grandsons and a granddaughter due to be delivered on December 6, 2022. A Christmas blessing for sure!

I am currently a Wound Care Clinical Specialist within the 3M Medical Solutions Division.
