Tavorius Crocker planned to work as a radiology tech, but when he met the director of the respiratory program at Sentara while he was a student at Tidewater Community College, he switched gears.
“I applied for the respiratory therapy program that day!” recalls Tavorius, a respiratory therapist at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. He’s worked for Sentara Healthcare for almost 13 years.
Tavorius enjoys being challenged at work and is further challenging himself in the classroom by pursuing his bachelor’s degree in health science with help from the tuition assistance program at Sentara.

Outside of work, Tavorius is passionate about cars.
“I have been racing cars since I was 16,” says Tavorius, who lives in Chesapeake. “I am also affiliated with a car club that puts on various charity car shows throughout the year.”
Exercising to stay fit and reduce stress is also important to him. Tavorius also enjoys watching documentaries, specifically learning more about animals and animal behavior.
