Roy Stoltzner
Chief Financial Officer
You can catch him around the office helping where he can, whether it is rooming patients, answering phones, or managing health insurance billing he has a smile on his face. Just beware you get him talking about watches, dirt bikes, or crypto currencies you may get caught up in a long conversation, otherwise he is a man of few words.
