May 2021

Dear Spok Team,

It’s been a great first month for me at Spok. As I reflect on my first
weeks here, I realize how different it is to join a new organization
during a global pandemic. The traditional first few weeks at a new
company used to be a flurry of face-to-face meetings, team lunches,
and going out to meet with clients and partners. As with many
things, the last year has taught us to adapt in how we communicate
and work with each other. By leveraging technologies such as
Microsoft Teams, we’ve been able to stay in touch with family and
friends, collaborate on projects with colleagues, continue to do
business with the clients we serve – and even make a new team
member feel extremely welcome.
As I write this, we’re celebrating Nurses Week. Over the course of my career and now here at Spok, I’ve been incredibly
lucky to work with and learn from some the most talented nurses (including my older sister), as well as doctors, scientists,
and other healthcare professionals. As we’ve all seen, especially in this past year, their dedication to improving the lives
and health of people everywhere is very inspiring whether it’s on the front lines, in a lab developing new therapies and
vaccines, or working in healthcare informatics to enhance the technology clinicians use daily to improve patient care.

I started my career at MEDITECH, implementing their EHR throughout the U.S. and Canada. That experience led me into
sales, sales leadership and business development for “specialty best of breed” perioperative EHR vendors Picis and Surgical
Information Systems (SIS). Most recently I led business development for N-of-One (now a QIAGEN company), a precision
oncology company providing clinical interpretation (therapeutic strategies and clinical trial matches) for cancer patient’s
molecular tests. Leveraging this real-world data, we expanded into the pharmaceutical and payer markets to help with
drug development and reimbursement initiatives. I’ve seen firsthand how the use of technology and data drive innovation
in all aspects of healthcare and life sciences. I’m excited to work for an organization dedicated to helping our clients use
these tools to improve communication, efficiency, and the clinical care they provide.
I’m working across the organization to build meaningful strategic alliances that will positively impact our clients, drive
exponential growth for our organization, and help achieve our key business goals and objectives. I’m impressed with
everyone I have met. The level of talent, drive and determination to deliver results in each area of our organization is
second to none. The outlook at Spok is extremely bright!

On a personal note, I live in Allen, TX with my wife Tammy and my two daughters Emily and Lindsey. We enjoy watching
our daughters play school and club volleyball, and love traveling. Even though that’s been limited lately, we’re ready to get
back to some of our favorite destinations soon.

In the coming weeks and months, I look forward to meeting you (hopefully in person) soon.
