Earlier ministries include president of Chatfield College in Cincinnati from 2002 to 2008, president and CEO of Providence Hospital and the Providence Health System in Sandusky, Ohio, from 1986 to 2001 and vice president of Support Services for St. John Medical Center in Steubenville, Ohio, from 1980 to 1985.
