My Story

After many years working in the optical industry in various aspects I had the good fortune to land at Woodbine Eyecare (Now Clarkson Eyecare). We have really grown over the years by providing great patient care via our doctors and amazing staff. Our office prides itself on giving each patient the best possible product and service. We have had a very high retention rate with employees by fostering an environment that is positive and supportive. Our doctors and staff have built this small practice from an annual revenue of under 1 million to over 3 million annually.

I also own and operate a small custom woodworking business and occasionally put out How To/DIY videos on YouTube.

My strengths include top notch customer service, creative problem solving, quality control of products, putting out fires, educating and training staff, keeping drama to a minimum and watching out for the bottom line.
