Hello Friend,
Over the past 7 years, I have immersed myself in the dynamic world of healthcare IT, specializing in Epic Beaker strategy and implementation as a consultant. My experience spans across organizations ranging from multi-state academic institutions to regional hospitals with a single lab. I've led and contributed to Beaker implementations, projects, optimizations, and long-term maintenance. I have experience in Beaker CP, AP, Data Innovations, most major Blood Banking software, and other third-party applications. This work has not only honed my technical skills but also deeply ingrained in me the importance of effective team leadership and strategic project management in healthcare technology.
​
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you learn something while you are here!
Who is this guy?
Welcome to my blog! I'm Kyle, aka the Beaker guy, and this is a blog where I talk about all things Beaker LIS and lab IT.
Professionally, I have spent over 7 years in healthcare IT, focusing primarily on Beaker consulting. My journey has been one of continuous growth, from tackling Beaker implementations and optimizations to managing long-term maintenance projects. This blog is an extension of that journey, where I share insights, lessons, and best practices from my experience in the Beaker trenches.
​
At home, my life revolves around my golden retriever, Josie, who never fails to bring joy and a bit of chaos into my days. My wonderful wife, Kylie, is my rock and biggest champion. When I am not dishing Beaker knowledge, you can find me golfing, on the beach, or cheering on the Green Bay Packers.
Thank you for visiting my blog, I'm glad you stopped by. I am new to this "blogging stuff" and value any and all feedback. If there is something you want to see or learn more about in my content, I would love to hear from you.

Kyle
