Biolab Sciences Story
"Before co-founding BioLab Sciences I had a long and successful career in the telecommunications industry. At the age of 50, I decided to return to school to get my executive MBA to sharpen my skills and fill any knowledge gaps I had. It proved very impactful, as it allowed me to see other people at different stages in their careers, and what some of them were achieving or not achieving. It made me reflect internally on what I was doing and how I was using my skills.
On my last day of grad school, I had a life-altering moment — a rollover car accident from which I miraculously walked away without a scratch. The next day I was on a plane to Rochester, New York to start a new position and couldn’t help but wonder, “Am I really doing anything to help improve lives or to help others?”. And the answer — painfully — was no. I was helping businesses become more efficient, but I really wasn’t changing lives.
I wanted to create value for other human beings. So, I made a career shift from software sales to regenerative medicine. Yes, it was a big transition, but we are so fortunate today to have a wealth of information at our fingertips. You truly can learn to do anything new you want.
It’s been a great journey to where I am now. Regenerative medicine has come a long way in five years, and I think it’s going to keep progressing tremendously as we learn more about how the body can help heal itself. This path is enabling me to help people who are suffering from hard-to-heal wounds. We’re helping save people’s limbs. We’re absolutely changing lives and improving the quality of it for countless individuals. For me, this line of work definitely feels much better than saving a company money or helping a company achieve a better business plan."
