John Dalton

CEO/Founder

Meet John Dalton

John’s career took off more than 29 years ago with medical staffing, executive and physician recruiting, and detoured into professional sales management and national sales training. With the launch of his own organization, he has come full circle back to recruiting, staffing, and sales training and consulting. His business development skills and sales techniques have propelled many local, regional, and national healthcare companies to prominence, and his immersion in the turbulent healthcare industry of Southeast Florida has made him a sought-after resource on all things healthcare and sales-related by his peers and clients alike.

John’s magic stems from his innate ability to connect with people, and know which people to connect with one another. His sharp intuition and long-term strategic thinking help him craft solutions to problems his clients don’t even know they have.

A selfless, motivating force of nature, John believes that helping others ultimately results in personal and professional fulfillment. Mentoring others and guiding them to success is the best payoff there is. That plus a day on the water and a big fish on the line!

Meet our team

Galen Bechtold

VP of Recruiting

If you ever needed to find a decent, honorable, dedicated person, you would have to start by talking to Galen.  Throughout his career he has always put himself at the center of the organizations he has worked with no matter if it was the commercial agriculture industry or recruiting and staffing industry.

Never have we ever met a kinder, more genuine person, and his interactions with the many candidates he has helped propel forward have always come from a true desire to serve.  As a client working with Galen during a search for the perfect candidate, you know that his patience is endless, and he has the tenacity of a long-distance runner focused on the goal of finding that right candidate.

Galen’s devotion to Optimum RTS and our clients is only matched by his devotion to his beautiful wife, family and church. When Galen isn’t working you will find him working in his garden around his house or riding his bike behind his wife as she jogs.

Lindsey Boulton

Sourcer

From the moment Lindsey interviewed with us we knew she belonged on our team here at Optimum RTS.   She is smart, articulate, inquisitive, resourceful, and sweet as the day is long. 

Read More

After finishing her master’s degree, Lindsey worked as a pediatric speech-language pathologist (SLP), helping children in the areas of language development, speech sounds, and social communication. Although Lindsey found enjoyment in helping patients as an SLP, she knew she wanted to work in a position utilizing more of her dynamic personality and first degree in Communications to help people in other ways.

As a sourcer she is making first contact with many of our candidates and developing strong relationships during a stressful time in a candidate’s career. Her natural abilities and acumen toward helping others have made her the perfect person for that task.  Although Lindsey has just joined our team, we know her bio will continue to expand as she grows with Optimum RTS.

When Lindsey is not helping people with their professional transition you find her laughing with her family or cuddling her pets.

Ed Gruvman

Public Relations Liaison

Being one of the most recognizable faces in Palm Beach County’s networking and marketing community, Ed’s decision to join our team was fortunate for everyone.

Read More

Ed is known to all as one of the nicest people you will ever meet, and he spends his days helping others and giving back to our community.  He does this in many ways, such as mentoring under-privileged children, assisting seniors, leading committees for the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, and so many more.

When Ed isn’t spreading the word about Optimum RTS and helping worthy organizations you will find him spending time with his lovely wife, children and grandchildren.

Anne Marie

VP of Operational Consulting

The thing about being in the same industry for years is you make incredible friends with people who share the same passion as you.  Anne Marie fits this description exactly, as she and I always were friendly competitors.

Read More

When I started Optimum RTS she began working with the Home Health Care agency I left and helped them move toward their first and then second sale.

Where my focus and talents have always been on the sales side of organizations, Anne Marie began her career on the clinical side of Home Health Care and moved quickly into the operational side of our industry advancing all the way to COO and President of two of the most prestigious Home Health Care agencies in South Florida.

Anne Marie’s skills lie in her ability to understand where clinical and sales meet and ability to drive the metrics that lead to sustained growth in our Home Health and Home Care agencies, and I am thrilled she now is the D. Wood Holdings VP of Operational Consulting.

Susan Molke

Senior Recruiter

I have always believed that the “World Gives You What You Need When You Need It” and that is exactly how Susan came into my life.  

Read More

Susan has spent her career working in the recruiting industry on both the agency and corporate side and has a clear understanding of what it takes to move a candidate through our screening process to presenting them to our clients with efficiency and professionalism.  In her past positions she has focused mainly on non-medical positions and now with Optimum RTS she has brought new ideas and ways of moving the ball forward in our ever-so- turbulent industry.
