Dave Yoder

Hello, I'm Dave, and I joined Block Imaging in 2021. My job is to refurbish, repair, and service C-Arms. I troubleshoot, solve problems, and ensure the functionality and safety of these units. I enjoy working with a fantastic team and being a part of creating solutions that increase patients quality of life all over the world. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with the four B's: bourbon, baseball, bowhunting, and playing the bass.
