Dr. Karen is the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Bushido Billing. She has owned her own practice since 2010 and since pursued post doctorate certifications and degrees in Acupuncture, and Animal Chiropractic. Although Dr. Karen loves owning her private practice and being a Chiropractor, she was frustrated by the lack of standards and options when it came to insurance and billing companies. After a conversation with Jeff, who also shared similar experiences, the two put into motion the genesis of Bushido Billing. Karen brings her clinical experience to the team which allows us to better understand and relate to a doctors and clinics point of view when it comes to insurance billing.
Outside of work, Karen loves to travel, play volleyball, watch sports and go to the beach (but not in Iowa!). If she catches you wearing socks with sandals, you can guarantee she is going to say something! Don't worry though, she won't be a "Karen" because one of her biggest pet peeves is when people are rude. All-in-all, Karen loves making a difference in someone’s life - no matter how big or small, especially when it comes to Chiropractic care.

Sara is the Chief Operating Officer for Bushido Billing and married to a Chiropractor. While her husband was in school, Sara managed a busy Chiropractic office and learned all things insurance billing. Upon leaving, Sara started her own small billing practice to avoid the frustrations that other offices were facing with the traditional billing companies. She also did billing and management duties for her husbands practice. In 2021 Sara stumbled across Bushido Billing and joined them after learning how their ethics and practices aligned with those of an actual clinic owner!
In her spare time, Sara enjoys spending time with her 2 kids, husband, and 2 dogs, traveling, kayaking, shooting trap, and going fishing. With the nickname "Unicorn" she finds enjoyment in taking on tasks that she either does or does not know how to do. The challenge that insurance billing brings provides excitement to Sara as her favorite task is to clean up messy accounts. Next time you chat with Sara, make sure you ask her about the time she was on TLC's Extreme Couponing Show!

Brianna (Bri for short) is a Team Lead for Bushido Billing with over five years of medical billing experience. She is from Long Island, NY. Her prior experience has ranged from Mental Health, Orthopedics, and Pain Management, to Physical Therapy. Her favorite part of her job is the challenging tasks that she puts her all into! She is determined to complete the tasks at hand and will not stop until she does!
She loves to be on the go, spending time with her family, friends, and German Shephard named Ani. Reading a good book is another way she enjoys spending her free time, although relaxing is not her specialty. A fun fact about her is that she is a twin!
Green is the color that represents her personality because she is always go, go, go! A pet peeve of Brianna's is chewing sounds. It makes her skin crawl! If she could do anything in the world (money aside), she would buy her family houses on the same street so that they could always be together instead of in separate states.
