Meet Henry Huff.
Henry graduated with a Bachelors Degree in mechanical engineering, and went on to earn a Masters Degree after his service in the Army. During his graduate studies, he became fast friends with a young man who was redesigning surgical instruments, and became fascinated with the field.
Instead of going into design, though, Henry found he had a particular skill to translate a surgeon's needs and ideas into functional instruments. He quickly formed working relationships with surgical manufacturers who were willing and able to developed specialized products, and put himself in the the role of special liaison between surgeon and manufacturer.
Soon, surgeons, specialists, and hospitals began asking him to help with implants and other devices, and, before long, Huff Surgical was born in Northeast Ohio. Henry formed alliances with several manufacturers, but found that the exclusive nature of those agreements often prevented him from offering the solution that was really best for his clients, many of whom were close friends.
At that point Henry decided that a better practice was to break ties with specific manufacturers and truly become a free lance, buyer's agent; consulting with clients, finding the best solutions for them, and working the middle ground to get them every advantage with manufacturers.
Some years after that, Henry and Chris met at a convention in Cleveland, where Chris was distributing surgical implants on an exclusive basis. The two became fast friends and business partners.
Henry lives, at certain times, in Cleveland, OH, with his beautiful wife and first mate, Regina. The two enjoy sailing and riding horses, but have more recently been spending a lot of time with their wonderful grandchildren.
