Became one of three owners of Trans-Radial Solutions LLC in 2012. We developed two, now patented, medical devices. Our most popular one is the Cardio-TRAP. Cardio-TRAP stands for Cardiovascular Trans Radial Access Platform. The Cardio-TRAP is a patient positioning device used in heart catheterization procedures. It was designed to support right radial access procedures, left-radial right room access procedures, and it has a radiation shield that reduces the scatter radiation dose to the cardiologist by more than 50%. We have sold them all over the United States.

Our other device is the Rad-Guard. The Rad-Guard is a radiation shield that attaches to any IV pole. It is designed to protect the nursing staff during fluoroscopy.

My contributions to the Trans-Radial Solutions effort were funding, creating solutions for problems and streamlining a process for manufacturing the products. I developed relationships with many local businesses to help make much of this happen.

In 2015, I created PlastiCraftsmen LLC. PlastiCraftsmen was created after people discovered that I could weld plastic. The people I developed relationships with through Trans-Radial Solutions LLC were sending people to me that needed plastic welding done. I had invested in all of the equipment to weld and fabricate plastic, so I created PlastiCraftsmen LLC to put that volume of work under. PlastiCraftsmen owns the patent for a table side radiation shield for the Sonialvision G4 X-ray table and has done work for many local machine shops and other larger companies such as Shimadzu Medical Systems USA, Disney, GE and Kemet.
