Son's experience at hospital and 2 successful startups behind me prompted me to try and make healthcare, mobile, efficient & coordinated

Netscreen Technologies, Citrix Systems,

There is nothing frustrating but is a rather humbling experience to be an entrepreneur.
It is very satisfying to build something to make a difference in the world like what we do at Core Mobile is to improve patient and patient family satisfaction while improving efficiency for hospitals and healthcare providers; in addition reduce readmissions and trivial visits by remote monitoring of patients for adherence to medication regimen and discharge instruction compliance.

Most entrepreneurs chase money, that is wrong.
My approach is to have a mission and then work hard to excel at your mission and them, money will follow the entrepreneur.

Be humble, work hard, be persistent.

The mission to make a difference in the world of healthcare for patient experience, outcomes and improve efficiency as I saw from my own son's experience with multiple surgeries when he was 6 months old and then 4 years old. He is 14 now and healthy and straight A student. My start-up experience and persistence sets an example for him to not give up when you are on the right track.

Founded start-up from consulting services at inception to revenue generation to make Healthcare - Mobile, Efficient & Coordinated.
