Why Apogee?


01
One point of contact Staffing agencies solve a real problem, but they add unwanted cost and distance to a key relationship. When you contract with me directly, you deal with one person, from first call to final day. Scope, scheduling, and any mid-engagement adjustments happen between us directly.
02
Flexible engagement structure Coverage is customized to your clinic needs, whether that's full-time on-site, a recurring remote arrangement, or something in between.
03
Ready from the first shift I've worked with most linac, TPS, and OIS platforms currently in clinical use. This means I show up ready to work. Most clinics praise how quickly the engagement starts producing.

About Jordan


Jordan grew up in the foothills of East Tennessee, cultivating a taste for exploration while wandering the Great Smoky Mountains. His sense of service led him to commission in the Air Force during graduate school in 2010, where he achieved the rank of Major, and received an honorable discharge in 2019. This environment built persistent habits: showing up prepared, adapting without friction, strong independence.

He's held chief, staff, and locum tenens roles, and has history in imaging, nuclear medicine, and radiation safety physics. That range translates to understanding what leadership actually needs from a contract. Clinics consistently ask to extend, or welcome him back when the need returns.

Wanderlust has led Jordan to many corners of the country and the world. Nashville is home, but he hopes to serve your patients as soon as the need arises.
