​
Well, I am a man who has to reinvent himself on several occasions. My career began as a teacher and adolescent coach.
​
Over two decades, I went from cold calling on doctors to leading sales teams, passing along the strategies I learned to generate more than $3 billion worth of sales.
​
My sales career for big pharma came to a screeching halt when authorities launched a government investigation against the tactics I used to generate more orders. As the Vice President of Sales for Insys Therapeutics, I was the first person to plead guilty to crimes related to how we charged ahead to make higher sales numbers.
​
What crimes?
I induced physicians to write more prescriptions for the medications that I represented. This practice led to higher sales and higher commissions. It also led to government investigations, criminal prosecutions, federal prison terms, and monetary fines.
​
The ordeal forced me to recalibrate and make amends for the harm I caused. To begin, I had to introspect. Through that process, I realized how my bad decisions victimized so many people.
​
Now I spend the majority of my time sharing my true life experiences as a high-flying executive turned white-collar criminal. I later learned that white-collar criminals have huge egos and tend to think we are above the law. I am here to tell my story while at the same time helping in an effort to prevent fraud and minimize risk affiliated with the white-collar offender. Join me in taking an inside look into the mind of a healthcare fraud offender.
