I’ve been a Biomed since graduating from the DOD Medical Equipment Technician technical training program in September 1997. Go Air Force !!!! I’ve traveled the world completing various Biomed technician positions. After the fourth deployment, my darling wife convinced me it was time to retire my uniform. Since September 2007 I’ve been working with Hospital Shared Services in a variety of field service positions and have been a member of CABMET since 2004. Since working in the biomed field, I have attended many manufacturers’ training programs and earned my CBET certification in Nov 2006. Missed by 2 points the first time, attended CABMET’S CBET training (thanks Dave S.), then made test with 15 points to spare. My next major career goal is to become CHTM certified.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Stephen graduated from DeVry Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering Technology in 1996 and worked in the semiconductor industry maintaining capital equipment until 2007. After seeing many ups and downs in manufacturing, he worked his way towards the medical industry, first in medical device component manufacturing and then medical device manufacturing.  In February of 2019 Stephen had the opportunity to join a major health system as a biomed and has found a field where he can finish his career.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I am an early-career cybersecurity engineer assisting CABMET with all of their website related work. I received my Bachelors of Computer Science with emphasis in Cybersecurity at UCCS in 2024. I joined CABMET in 2022 and have helped them with website and other IT related work, such as automating our CEU issuance, streamlining signups, and maintaining our events calendar, leadership pages, and email. As a matter of fact, I’m the one updating this text.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I graduated from the United States Army Medical Equipment and Optical School (USAMEOS) in December 1994.  I have worked on medical equipment or supervised those working on medical equipment in multiple states and for a variety of employers. I also encourage biomeds to be involved in their local biomed association. The associations are a great way to network and ask questions of other techs in your region to get a different prospective on how the job is done. I have been a member of CABMET since 2010 and have served as vice president twice.

I started my biomedical studies at a community college in Livonia, MI. I later enlisted in the Army, and attended both the basic and advanced biomed training courses at the United States Army Medical Equipment and Optical School (USAMEOS) at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center in Aurora, CO. I received an Associate Degree in Biomedical Electronic Equipment Maintenance from Regis College. I began my civilian Biomed career with Hospital Shared Services of Colorado (HSSC) as a technician and later as a supervisor.  I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering Technology from Colorado Technical College. In 1996 I joined National MD, an independent service organization that had been tapped by GE to manage the Healthone accounts.  I worked at Swedish Medical Center as a senior BMET, and later as the Senior Program Coordinator, for 14 years. In 2010, I began working with Aramark Healthcare Technologies, who had been awarded the contract for the Healthone hospitals.  I was a Senior HTM for 6+ years with Aramark. I thoroughly enjoyed my career as a BMET and HTM for 43 years, and retired in February of 2017.  I have been a member of CABMET since 1975.  I have previously held the position of President of CABMET.  I have assisted with creating annual seminars, brought vendors to Denver for training on medical devices, and have been a supporter of continuing education and certification as a means of improving our standing within the medical community.
