Having completed four years of military service I successfully completed my licensing as a CRT (Certified Respiratory Therapist). I then enrolled and completed an AS Degree Program in Respiratory Care while working at a local hospital. After graduation I attended a one-year residency program for Respiratory Care at Kansas Medical Center, spending a 3 month program in education and 9 months in clinical practice. Following this I completed my board exams to become a RRT (Registered Respiratory Therapist). I was then employed full-time as a Registered Respiratory Therapist where I supervision a 21-bed adult critical care unit. Following some six years of full-time work experience I became employed by St. Petersburg College. Since my employment I have attended the University of South Florida where I completed my master’s degree in education. To maintain my clinical skills and stay abreast of the new technologies I have been clinically active since this employment and typically teach both freshmen and sophomore clinical rotations including those skills related to both basic and critical care areas.
