Russ Cobb - Owner
Greg Burge - Operations Manager

T'Bari Lee - Public Relations Manager
Greg has been with LifeLine since May 2013. He started as a driver, dispatch then promoted to EMT/dispatch. After working as an EMT he was promoted to Dispatch Supervisor then Operations Manager. Interesting fact about Greg is he was a Missionary in the Dominican Republic from June 2005 to May 2013. He worked as a bartender during his USC years where he graduated in 1990 (also one of the first empolyees of the Koger Center when it opened in 1989 (just an usher but had to work in a bowtie).
T'Bari is a 1999 Camden High School graduate with over 10 years of sales and customer service. T'Bari found himself in collections and finance, before securing an administrative position with Blue Cross' Fund Distribution team. T'Bari lead the role for 2 years before the contract ended. Being a father
over shadowed his pride, as he took a substantially less lucrative position as a driver with LifeLine Ambulance. After being on the rig for 3 years, an opportunity came in a phone call from the CEO, suggesting that he apply for the opening as Public Relations Manager and Marketing. With reluctance, and lack of industry knowledge, he applied, interviewed, and was hired the following morning - although there were others that he thought had more industry knowledge. T'Bari credits his growth and his success in seeing people for who they are, and speaking their language.
"I listen until someone tells me what to talk about."

Keri Vinson - Lead Dispatch
2014 graduate of Camden High School, Keri served as a waitress before her calling found her. Starting off as a driver, her tips funded her EMT schooling. Earning her certifications in December 2017, Keri's, by chance, encounter with a LifeLine team member in March landed her an interview just days later. Since her 2018 hiring, Keri has worked part time with Kershaw Health's 911 team before deciding to devote all of her time to LifeLine. Her recent promotion to dispatch has been a great morale boost for, both, the team members and Keri as she state, "I couldn't ask for a better opportunity to add more value to the LifeLine team, and my new position."

Marie Nash - Billing Manager
Western Career College Graduate in the Northern Bay area of California, Debbie earned her pharmacy tech certification.

Debbie's attachment to the community soon steered her into working with the county's recreation department which served as the perfect Segway into her current dispatch role here at LifeLine Ambulance.
