Bio
Katherine Smith
A natural leader and exceptional motivator with a conscientious manner and unmatched technical expertise is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Sam. I have had the pleasure of knowing Sam for five years, one of which I was an engineering co-op under his supervision at Invacare. I was impressed with Sam’s ability to give clear and concise direction while allowing a great degree of autonomy. Sam trusts your abilities and encourages critical thinking and personal and professional development. Also, his warm and personable demeanor made me feel like part of the team. Sam would be a true asset for any positions requiring an experienced manager and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
Nancy Smoot
As an engineer, Sam is skilled at translating customer needs into meaningful design. As a leader, Sam is respected and trusted by those around him. Put him in front of any audience - customer, supplier, executive, peer - and he speaks their language; a skill that always impressed me because its so uncommon. I had the pleasure of working with Sam for ten years and highly recommend him to any organization looking beyond technical skill to emotional intelligence and strong leadership.

MuReva Phototherapy Inc. is a medical device start-up company headquartered in Strongsville, OH that is changing the paradigm of cancer care.

Our vision is to create phototherapy devices that are inherently safe, patient-friendly, and clinically proven to advance the standard of cancer care. We have embarked on our first clinical study evaluating the efficacy of our first phototherapy system. An illuminated mouthpiece intended to treat severe mouth ulcers or Oral Mucositis, the most common, debilitating and costly side effect of cancer treatment. Our patented device can treat and potentially prevent this terrible side effect that impacts over 3 million patients every year. Show less
