Prior to that, he served as a Licensed Health Care Administrator, Executive Director, Senior Executive Director, and Director of Operations, leading high-performing teams and delivering operational excellence across the continuum of care.

Abraham’s leadership is deeply guided by the principles of servant leadership, transparency, accountability, and collaboration. He believes in empowering teams, fostering a culture of trust, and leading with a purpose rooted in values.
Outside of work, Abraham is actively involved in church and community life, enjoys mentoring and plays in local soccer leagues.
