chair of the Metropolitan Nashville COVID-19 Taskforce at the onset
of the pandemic. His leadership and success in spearheading
Nashville’s response to the pandemic, along with his passion for

this capacity, he has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, Fox Business
News, the Today Show, Meet the Press, and many other nationally
broadcasted programs, while also being frequently featured in
online and print media like the Wall Street Journal, Washington

and a director of Pendant Biosciences, an advanced materials
biotechnology startup, which has now entered into collaboration
agreements with several top 10 pharmaceutical companies.
