Bart’s medical career began in 1996 as he began work as an EMT at UMC’s Level I Trauma Center and for Lubbock EMS as a 911 emergency dispatcher.  He obtained his paramedic license in 1999 and transitioned to the field as a paramedic with Lubbock EMS for seven years serving as president of the honor guard, special operations teams, and as a field training officer.

In 2006, he graduated from TTUHSC with a bachelor’s degree in Clinical Services Management.  He has since managed long term care facilities, served as an instructor and program director at South Plains College EMS Program, and worked part-time weekly as a field paramedic for Wolfforth EMS since 2006.

His most recent posting before coming to UMC Physicians was with the Lynn County Hospital District in Tahoka, Texas as the Director of Emergency Services overseeing the EMS service, the hospital ER, and teaching EMS at Tahoka High School. He is currently completing his internship this fall for an advanced practice certificate as a community paramedic.

He started with UMC Physicians in October of 2014 and has been at LakeRidge Medical Center since December of last year as the Practice Administrator.  Bart has really enjoyed working in an Urgent Care setting with all of the providers and clinic team this past year which is evident in his Direct Management scores in the recent PressGaney Employee Partnership survey.

He enjoys being creative by building and making things which also includes cooking, home brewing, and wine making.  Bart Says, “I couldn’t do the things I do without the support of my wife and my two children.  I am very proud to work for UMC Physicians and where my healthcare career has taken me.”
