Healthcare’s next era, seen from decades on the inside — across hospitals, health systems, and the technology reshaping how care gets delivered.
Before this was a platform for capital, and counsel, and giving back, it was a shared grounding in healthcare — one career spanning three decades operating hospitals and health systems, and another spent alongside it, shaping leaders and institutions from a different angle.
That experience shows up differently now: in board rooms and advisory conversations, in how capital gets stewarded, and in a sustained civic and philanthropic engagement — board leadership, community partnerships, and the institutions that make Middle Tennessee strong.
A small number of board and advisory relationships continue that work directly. These engagements are deliberately few — chosen for alignment of mission, people, and the chance to be genuinely impactful.
Board service spanning public and private healthcare companies and major philanthropic institutions — with depth in operations, capital markets, governance, and the particular work of leading mission-driven organizations.
Operating-partner and senior advisory work with investors and operating teams — diligence, value creation, and leadership assessment grounded in operating experience.
Counsel for executives, founders, and civic leaders navigating scale, transition, and the particular challenges of building in healthcare and community.
“The second half of a career is not a winding down. It is a different kind of strength — judgment in place of urgency, and the obligation to hand both forward.”
Sector fluency built over decades of operating inside hospitals, health systems, and healthcare enterprises — and a continued conviction that technology is what reshapes how care gets delivered next. We see this industry from the inside and with perspective on what’s possible.
We steward the family’s investments with the optimism of founders and discipline of operators — long horizons, permanent capital, and no fund cycle. Our interests concentrate where our experience runs deepest, alongside real assets and select partnerships with people we trust. We answer to no outside investors.
Thryve is the banner under which the family’s giving and civic work proceeds. We are committed to the institutions that make Middle Tennessee strong — healthcare, education, faith, and community. Strong roots make durable growth possible.
We partner with exceptional leaders building durable businesses, and support the civic and philanthropic organizations shaping Middle Tennessee. Capital is a tool; the people who wield it define what gets built.
