Todd Magee, BS, CMA (AAMA) - President, Communication Chair 

(CLICK HERE for description of NHSMA President role.)

After a 20 year career in retail I chose to go back to college and study medical assisting. I obtained my Associates Degree in Medical Assisting from Hesser College and have also obtained my Bachelors Degree in Health Science through Kaplan University. I work for the Concord Hospital Family Health Center and am now in my 15th year with that great organization. I am the lead medical assistant and also work as part of the education department within Concord Hospital. Being an educator is a passion of mine and in my role I not only get to help educate other medical assistants within our organization but with my clinic also being part of the New Hampshire Dartmouth Family Medicine Residency program I get to work with resident physicians and contribute to their education as well. I also help to foster a new generation of medical assistants into our phenomenal profession by being an Adjunct Professor for Manchester Community College and teach within the MA apprenticeship program at Concord Hospital. I have been an active member with the NHSMA  board since 2018 and have had many roles such as Concord NH Ambassador, Communication Committee Chair and current Vice President / President Elect. As the communication chair I created the current NHSMA website which won the Excell Award at the AAMA National Conference in 2019.  On a personal note I am happily married to a fantastic woman who puts up with me and my furry feline son named George. I am also an avid movie buff so if you ever want to chat about the cinema I am your guy!

Rick Bento, CMA (AAMA) :  Vice President, By Laws Chair ;

After 25 years as a surgical assistant and EMT-Advanced, Rick decided it was time for a change, so he embarked on a new journey.  He enrolled in the medical assistant program at Seacoast Career School and graduated with top honors.  This added to his extensive training  as a hospital corpsman in the United States Navy, as an advanced emergency medical technician and as a surgical technician.  He also completed an associates degree at New Hampshire Technical Institute in science and health care. 

Rick has been working as a certified medical assistant at Catholic Medical Center- New England Heart Institute for the last 6 years.  He is hoping his extensive background and leadership skills will help him as he serves as a VP and a delegate on the NHSMA board. (CLICK HERE for description of NHSMA Vice President role.)

Brian Stimpson Sr CMA (AAMA)- Immediate Past President Education Chair   

I have been a CMA (AAMA) since 2013. I currently work at Children's Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD) as Medical Assistant and Access Screener Supervisor in Manchester. I was previously at  Concord Family Health Center, and Concentra Urgent Care. Since joining the board in 2016 I have served as the 2020 and 2021 President, 2018/2019 Vice President, Education Committee Chair, Concord Ambassador 2016-2019, Delegate 2019 and Alternate Delegate to 2017 AAMA National Conference, Chairperson of the Membership and Marketing Committee and Vice Chair of the Job Fair Committee. Prior to becoming a medical assistant I worked in home care as operations manager, material management and delivery coordination and spent 13 years in the US Army. I enjoy volunteering at fundraising events, mass vaccine events, Friendly Kitchen, CERT and MRC but my real passion is bringing Continuing Education to all Medical Assistants.

I have been married to the love of my life for 35 years, we have 2 children in their 30s and 4 awesome grandchildren.

Jennifer DePiano, CMA (AAMA) - Treasurer  (CLICK HERE for description of NHSMA Treasurer role.)

I began my career as a Certified Medical Assistant (AAMA) in 2018, as a career change from teaching. I obtained my Bachelors in Childhood Studies with a concentration in teaching from Plymouth State University in 2006. I completed my Associates in Medical Assisting from Manchester Community College in 2018. Currently, I am enrolled to obtain my Master’s degree in Healthcare Management to further my passion to teach at a higher level. Since my passion is in education, joining the board of the NHSMA is an exciting opportunity to continue to be a part of bringing quality education (CEU) to NH Medical Assistants. In addition, I will be joining the Education Committee with NHSMA to help bring these opportunities to Medical Assistants.

Courtney Insley CMA (AAMA)- Secretary (CLICK HERE for description of NHSMA Secretary role.)

My name is Courtney Insley I am a medical assistant with internal medicine. I have been in the medical field since I graduated high school.
