Growing up in Colleton County, South Carolina, Dr. Mays excelled in academics and athletics. Growing up in rural South Carolina shaped him in a way he didn’t realize until he began his journey in healthcare. Dr. Mays never thought or wanted to be involved in Nursing, but helping others came naturally.

Dr. Mays started his career in healthcare by working as a customer service representative at a small HMO. Later, he worked as a Medicare/Medicaid Biller for a hospital system in South Carolina. As the billing office was taken over by an outside company, he managed to befriend a unit secretary who was willing to mentor him if he decided to make the change.
