Kyle Long: Kyle serves as an Administrative Liaison for the Ohio Colleges of Medicine Government Resource Center (GRC). He joined the GRC staff in March of 2017. He has always loved speaking to people and understanding them and somewhat speaking their lingo to get a good friendship within a conversation which is why he obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Fort Hays State University. His previous experience includes positions at OhioHealth, most recently in the Revenue Cycle as an A/R specialist under the direct supervision of OhioHealth senior administration. Kyle's passion for administration grew into going for a Master's in Organizational Leadership. His passion is to lead within healthcare in any way to help cultivate and transform it with those that inspire him. With various meetings and mentoring from the president of Grant Medical Center of OhioHealth, he chose to pursue his Master of Science in Organizational Leadership with a concentration in Public Administration. With his longtime friend and best man in his wedding, as of a year ago, they purchased a food and protein franchise for events, which has become so successful he may add on in another area to the franchise and leave his job only to do this. Matthew Hollandsworth: Matt is a PhD student in Business Administration with a specialization in organizational leadership. He is about halfway through the program. Matt lives in Fredericksburg, VA with his wife Danielle of 17 years, and four children (Julia 16, Kaylee 14, Brianna 11, and Mason 9). Matt works for one of the largest employee-owned companies in the government contracting arena, American Systems. He is the Director of Corporate Security, Facilities, and Safety, which includes responsibility for the overall strategic management and leadership of these three areas. Matt has about 20 years of experience, supporting multiple companies and government programs along the way. He is very active within the security industry, holding positions on several working groups and boards, and is also active within his community, holding a position on the board of directors for the local travel soccer club.
