The elders in the community who\nremember that are starting to die off and there aren\u2019t many people who can give\nyou a physical description of what it used to be before it was the Swope Health\ncampus, but I can.\u201d<\/span><o:p><\/o:p><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: rgb(50, 49, 48);\">Simmons kicked off his\npolitical career as a city councilman in 1997 and eventually relocated to\nJefferson City. There, he was a Missouri Public Service Chairman and\nCommissioner before serving as the Director of Economic Development for the\nState of Missouri. Simmons eventually found his way back to Kansas City after\naccepting the role of Vice President of Development and Governmental Affairs at\nSwope Health. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height:125%\"><span style=\"color: rgb(50, 49, 48);\">\u201cI\ncame aboard in 2005 on the health side, and I did several things, from serving\nin governmental affairs, to being a part of development, to acting as the\ndirect point of contact for media inquiries,\u201d he said. \u201cUltimately, I rolled\ninto Swope Community Builders, becoming the President and CEO.\u201d <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height:125%\"><b><span style=\"color: rgb(50, 49, 48);\">Transition\nfrom healthcare to development<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height:125%\"><span style=\"color: rgb(50, 49, 48);\">Swope\nCommunity Builders \u2013 an urban core development company now known as Community\nBuilders of Kansas City \u2013 was established in 1991 as a member of Swope\nCommunity Enterprises, another umbrella organization of Swope Health. After one\nyear at Swope Health, Simons transitioned into the head leadership role at\nSwope Community Builders. <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height:125%\"><span style=\"color: rgb(50, 49, 48);\">\u201cGoing\nto the Swope Community Builder side was really about community development\u201d\nSimmons said. \u201cThat was a part of Swope Health\u2019s overall mission, which was\ngrowing and ensuring that there was development in the area.\u201d<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height:125%\"><span style=\"color: rgb(50, 49, 48);\">From\n2006 to 2008, Simmons made strides for Swope Community Builders. He considers\nhis biggest accomplishment to be putting Swope Health on the map after opening The\nShops on Blue Parkway, a major development includes a grocery store and retail\noperations. His passion for the community was shown by the work he did.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height:125%\"><span style=\"color: rgb(50, 49, 48);\">\u201cI\nfelt that I&#8217;m somewhat of a unicorn. being able to make that transition from\nthe healthcare organization over to the Community Builders\u2019 side, but it&#8217;s a\ncontinuation of who I am as a person,\u201d he said. \u201cBeing someone from the\ncommunity who utilized the services, it felt right at home to be a part of the\nhigh-level management of the organization.\u201d <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height:125%\"><b><span style=\"color: rgb(50, 49, 48);\">His\ncareer after Swope Health<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height:125%\"><span style=\"color: rgb(50, 49, 48);\">Eventually,\nSimmons pursued another opportunity in 2009 when he was appointed by Governor\nJay Nixon as one of his first cabinet members.

In 2012, Simmons\u2019 talents led him to\nbecome a Principal at Dentons \u2013 the largest international law firm in the world\n\u2013 which eventually led him to the Nexus Group, where he\u2019s remained at since\n2018.&nbsp; <o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height:125%\"><span style=\"color: rgb(50, 49, 48);\">\u201cConflicts\ncan be developed at an international law firm, and conflicts can stifle one&#8217;s\ngrowth.
