Employee Spotlights

I came to Med One 2 years ago and I love the atmosphere. Being part of an industry that bridges the gap between technology and patient care is fulfilling. Knowing that our daily contributions help healthcare providers deliver better care is a powerful motivator.

I was born and raised in the vibrant heart of Sanford, Florida, where life was always simple but full of energy, largely thanks to my amazing family. Growing up with my sister and brother in a single parent home, and countless cousins around me, I learned early on the value of resilience, community, and endless support.

After high school, I joined the United States Marine Corps, an experience that shaped me into the person I am today. Serving in the 1st Battalion 6th Marines unit and as part of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, I proudly earned my stripes as a two-time combat veteran during both Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. It was challenging, rewarding, and deeply transformative.

Now, when it comes to hobbies, I’m the “World’s Best Kayak Fisher” of Sanford, Florida, or so I like to say! Whether gliding through Florida’s waters or battling nature’s elements for the catch of the day, kayak fishing has become an exhilarating blend of adventure and peace. It’s my escape and connection to nature’s grandeur in one swoop. Additionally, my prowess extends from the water to the flame. I hold the esteemed title of Sanford’s undisputed grill master! Whether whipping up succulent barbecue or organizing epic cookouts for family and friends, you can catch me on the grill!

I discovered a new passion that reignited a spark within me—exotic animals. I took up breeding as a hobby, specializing in pythons, tarantulas, scorpions, and large monitors. There’s something satisfying about caring for these unique creatures and sharing my enthusiasm with fellow enthusiasts. Fitness is another cornerstone of my life. I am a self-proclaimed gym rat, love competitions, and continuously push myself to new limits. Whether it’s through weightlifting or cardio challenges, I’m always up for a chance to test my boundaries and exceed them.

When I’m not surrounded by reptiles or burning off energy at the gym, you’ll find me at home, where I truly love to be. Family means everything to me, and I relish in every opportunity to engage in playful antics and lighthearted “aggravation” with those closest to me.

I was born and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina. My parents have been married for 55 years. I have three brothers, (I am the youngest of them). All my family still lives in the Southeast. I attended and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I majored in Psychology.

I enjoy hiking and try to camp as much as possible I like spending time with friends and trying new restaurants. I also enjoy exercising and staying active. In my sparetime, I like to read, watch movies, take day trips on the weekends, go to sporting events and concerts, and play soccer.

I am a Territory Sales Manager for Med One in Northern California. I enjoy the process of meeting new customers and getting equipment into the hands of healthcare professionals that can help assist in making sick people well.

I was born and raised in Sandy, Utah, where I live now with my husband, my mom, and our three dogs. I graduated from Hillcrest High School and Utah Career College, then attended Kaplan University online and earned a bachelor’s degree in nutrition science. I have also lived in Pinedale, Wyoming, where I was a middle school secretary for many years.

We have a bunch of kids and grandkids and some chickens that we sometimes pretend are ours. Most days you will likely find me in the kitchen trying a new recipe or in the sewing room upcycling a pair of old cargo pants, altering a dance costume or making a quilt. I might be hanging with my hubby in the yard, painting rocks with the grandkids, or on the sofa with all the dogs (binge watching the news). I am learning to handweave “visible mending” patches and am practicing sashiko - a traditional Japanese stitching method used to repair and strengthen fabric while exemplifying the beauty in the incomplete and imperfect. I also think I could probably whittle a stick into a pretty cute little gnome one of these days. In the future I’d like to volunteer at a pet rescue farm or be a teacher at an art camp for kids where I would teach improvisational home ec, mixed media art techniques, and hopefully some basic common sense and gratitude.

Fun things I like to do: play with clay, paint, or glue, read anything about US history, imagine I am winning on Jeopardy, scroll Google maps, thrift shop, sing along to old hymns and/or classic rock, daydream of having my own boutique, make Christmas ornaments in June, go camping, try to fish, recite all 50 states in alphabetical order and the pre-amble to the constitution. Although I am a homebody, I do enjoy traveling and have been to Mexico, Europe, South Africa, and have driven across our beautiful country twice.

I have worked part time for Med One as a receptionist in the Sandy office for one year. I enjoy the friendly and upbeat atmosphere and admire my co-workers for their work ethic and their courageous commitment to our core values and goals. We have a fun staff here and someone is always doing something that makes me smile. I also work and volunteer part time at Cedarwood Senior Living of Sandy serving breakfast to seniors and spending time visiting with them as often as I can.

Hi, I’m Jake! I am a Regional Operation Manager who oversees the Salt Lake, Denver, and Phoenix offices. This is my third year at Med One, but I have been in the medical equipment field for 15 years.

I was born in Sandy, Utah and am still here. I have a wife, 3 kids, and a dog that like to keep me busy. We love to play games, do projects, go on adventures, and check out cool places in our camping trailer.

I am a lover of the outdoors, this introvert thrives in nature, whether I’m camping, boating, river rafting, hiking, or exploring new places. Some people consider me a fish as I love to be in the water whether it is swimming, water skiing or kayaking. People beg to be on the boat when I am driving because I know how to make it fun! As the sixth of seven kids, I learned the value of hard work. My dad always took time to teach me and my brothers how to build and fix things. I gained skills in construction and workmanship, which have made me quite the handyman. I have been able to fix and build a few things in my own house! I may or may not have OCD, but my need for organization and precision has helped me in all parts of my life. In my current position, I was able to assist in writing new processes for Med One and curating an inventory system.

Though I may be more reserved, I enjoy traveling with my wife. She does a great job at planning and making sure we get the most out of our trip. We have created some unforgettable memories in places like Italy, Alaska, Hawaii, and Costa Rica. My dream destinations include Israel and Germany - places that inspire my curiosity for history and culture. Sometimes, we take the kids, and I love to watch them make sense of the world around them and have fun!
