Objective and Professional Summary

My objective is to join a Chiropractic practice where my successful track

record of treating patients for the past two plus (+2) years in a high

volume practice, combined with my previous corporate sales and

entrepreneurial experience can help a practice retain and grow its

satisfied patient volume resulting in increased revenues and profits. The

result of achieving this objective will enhance my Chiropractic career,

increase my earnings and position me to achieve my ultimate objective of

eventually owning my own practice. Therefore, my objectives should be

aligned very well with any Chiropractic practice striving for growth.

In addition to having very good chiropractic skills in treating patients, I

also have excellent interpersonal and communication skills which all

combined to create an excellent reputation with patients. I recently left a

very successful, established practice on Southern California to move back

home to Texas. My recent patients in that practice not only kept coming

back for treatment but also referred other patients to me. My patients

were very sorry to lose me as their doctor with written comments like:

"Dr. Jeff, you are not only an amazing doctor, but are an amazing

person! I have grown to love you and I always look forward to your

sweet smile! I wish the best for you in your journey. Be happy and

know that you have left a special mark on my heart!" - Patty Peshek,

(patient).

"Dr. Jeff, Gee- after I just got to know you and feel the expertise

and knowledge of your hands- a true loss to this practice. Best of

luck to you and your family in Tx."- Ruth Melvostatd, (patient)

"Dr. Jeff, Thank you so much! We will miss you!"- Rob, Shatzi and baby

Dillon, (patient family).

"Dr. Jeff, you are an incredible doctor, but more important, an

amazing person! God Bless you and your son and you 'SOAR Like

EAGLES'!" Love, Vikki Goodman. (Patient).

Any successful business, such as a Chiropractic practice, is made up of a

team of people and for the business to be successful a teamwork environment

is essential. I am proven team player and leader. When I notified the

California practice that I was moving back to Texas, the following are

examples of comments from my office staff, massage therapists and practice

owner:

"Doctor! I have provided you with the recipe. You have all the

ingredients. I know you will be a tremendous success building your own

dream practice. I am here for you to "coach" you along the way. We are

soooo sad to see you go but very happy for you! Good luck and y'all

come back now P.S. "Fight on!", "T-Rex - Dr. P. (Dr. Petersen,

practice owner)

"Dear Dr. Jeff, knowing you has enhanced my life in so many ways! I am

so thankful to have known you, and you are wonderful! I will come

visit."- Keaton Gallaher (C.A. also from Texas)

"Dr. Jeff, I don't even know where to begin. Your happy, sweet,

positive personality is the one thing I always looked forward to when

walking in the door! I will so miss you whistling, smiling and

contagious love for life. I will miss how you light up when sharing

stories about your son. The office will not be the same without your

sunshine! Texas is lucky to get you... California will be sad. Best to

you, Love MaryKay, (massage therapist)"

Prior to entering the Chiropractic field, I had developed a solid

professional background with more than ten (10) years of experience in

hardware and software technology sales to medium and large sized

businesses. I also owned and operated a World Gym franchise which provided

me excellent experience with the marketing and sales efforts required to

increase and retain members, and the financial skills necessary to operate

a business. While earning my undergraduate degree, I worked as a personal

trainer at several fitness gyms and was a partner in operating a different

World Gym franchise than the one noted above.

This sales and entrepreneurial experience, in addition to my Chiropractic

skills and background, positions me very well as a strong addition to any

Chiropractic practice, especially one looking for a high growth rate and

patient retention.

Professional Experience & Qualifications

Doctor of Chiropractic - Sycamore Chiropractic

2010-2013 - San Juan Capistrano, California

Sycamore Chiropractic is a 13 year old high, volume practice treating

50-70 patients per day. It is also in a highly competitive market.

The Doctor/owner, Dr. Petersen, wanted to expand and grow his practice

and also be able to take some personal time off that he had not been

able to do since he was the only doctor in the practice.

I joined Sycamore as the Associate Doctor and came up to speed very

quickly with the patient treatments and office operations. I was

responsible for growing our new patient base and treating existing and

new patients with the best quality Chiropractic care. I was also

responsible for new patient consultations, exams, x-rays, developing

and analyzing x-rays, report of findings, and recommendations and

management of patient care needs. Prior to my joining, the practice

was closed on Saturday and only open days on Tuesday and Thursday.

When I joined we extended the hours of operations to full days

Tuesdays and Thursdays and days on Saturdays.

I attended health fairs, spinal screenings, and provided health talks

and seminars to local community groups such as Mothers of Preschoolers

(MOPS), San Juan Nights, and others in order to gain new patients and

grow revenue for the practice.

After a few months of working at the practice, Dr. Petersen began

taking more and more vacation time off to spend much earned time with

his family. I was left to treat all patients and run the daily

operations of the practice. In addition to treating 50-70 patients per

day, I also made follow-up calls and held spinal screening events at

local shopping malls on weekends to grow the practice. I also

managed, motivated, and worked energetically with the office staff.

Coming in early and staying late to assist the staff with opening and

closing duties was a common practice for me.

District Manager - Konica Minolta

2003-2004 - Houston, Texas

I was responsible for managing and growing a territory in the 4th

largest city in the country. I worked closely with CEO's, CFO's and

other senior managers of medium to large-sized companies in assisting

them to improve operational efficiencies. At Konica Minolta we

provided document management software and hardware solutions which

integrated the information aspects of a company's operations both

locally and internationally. To grow sales I prospected in businesses

locally, attended trade shows and events like chamber of commerce

meeting. I also started a "lunch and learn" group ( made up of sales

professionals from various industries) that met once a month to share

best practices and leads to grow our joint businesses. I had a staff

of three (3) that assisted me in my sales efforts.

President/Owner - World Gym Family Fitness Center

1997-1999 - Ft. Worth, Texas

2000-2003 - Temple, Texas

I was responsible for daily operations, sales, personal training,

fiscal planning, budgeting, payroll, and monthly financial statements.

In addition to running the day to day operations, hiring and training

staff in all departments, and heading up our sales department, I was

also responsible for managing staff that at one time totaled more than

50 full and part time employees.

I also sought out, organized and integrated corporate relationships

and corporate accounts to grow our corporate business in addition to

individual memberships. I developed partnerships with large companies

like McLane Foods, and Scott & White Hospital, to provide their

employees discounted memberships that were paid for monthly by these

companies. Additionally, I worked with the cardiac center and gastric

bypass divisions of Scott & White Hospital to provide a facility at my

gym and exercise program for recovering patients. I also conducted

monthly health seminars at these companies for their employees to

encourage healthier lifestyles.

The first year of owning the facility, after establishing corporate

relationships with above mentioned clients, I grew the gross annual

profits from $650,000 to $850,000, and the following year did over $1

million in gross revenue.

Sales Manager/Personal Trainer - World Gym Austin & Future Firm

1991-1997 - Austin, Texas (various locations)

I was responsible for growing the membership base, educating

prospective and new members of effective nutrition and exercise

programs to improve overall health and well-being. I would bring in

outside healthcare professionals to give health talks to our members

and to bring in new members to our facilities. These turned into

health fairs, which helped maintain a happy membership base while

continuing to bring in new members. This is also how I met the

Chiropractor that got me interested in the Chiropractic profession.
