Bio
Randy MCNEELY - CHIEF KINDNESS ENGINEER
I had the pleasure of working with Wes for nearly two years. Wes is the consummate professional and all he does. His thorough knowledge of the HIPAA Security and Privacy rules were a great benefit to all clients who had the opportunity to interact with Wes. Because of his knowledge, multiple clients had Wes come in as an interim privacy officer. Wes has some of the best people skills of anyone I've ever worked with. He is articulate and has the amazing gift of being candid in a tactful way. I aspire to having that level of communication ability someday. Finally, Wes is one of the most organized people on the planet. His productivity is through the roof, despite juggling both management and consulting roles. I'd recommend Wes to any organization.

Mr. Wes Morris worked with me at AFMOA in the Managed Care shop and led the HIPAA operations. He is a wonderful partner and always was able to resolve all HIPAA compliance issues quickly and with complete detail. We could always count on Wes for any privacy/security HIPAA issues at AFMOA. Wes is an outstanding leader of his team of HIPAA professionals. Colonel Jason Hall
