David Gates

David's professional journey can be described as a unique blend of tech-savvy and healthcare expertise. Beginning in 1993 as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), he quickly caught the tech bug and transitioned into the world of computer science, obtaining his Bachelor's in 2001. Since then, David has worn many hats in the healthcare IT universe – from Network Engineer to CTO, Security Architect to CISO. But don't let the titles and certifications (MCSE, VCP, GSEC) fool you. As the VP of Technology, David drives innovation forward while always keeping a floppy disk at the ready because "You never know when you might need one of these things!"
