LocumsNow was founded to improve anesthesia staffing through efficient solutions that prioritize both provider satisfaction and client success. With firsthand clinical experience, we bridge the gap between operational needs and provider expectations while building long-term partnerships grounded in trust, performance, and reliability.

Clint, co-founder of LocumsNow, is a CRNA passionate about helping providers through locum staffing.
Clint Santiago’s story starts with his family — Cuban immigrants whose work ethic and determination shaped the way he approaches everything he does. That drive carried him through college as a three-time Academic All-American, where he graduated summa cum laude while competing as a student-athlete.
After graduation, Clint spent years coaching football in an underserved community, leading his teams to three state championship appearances and mentoring young athletes both on the field and off. Drawn to a new challenge, he returned to school through an accelerated nursing program and went on to graduate at the top of his class from CRNA school.
Once in practice, Clint saw firsthand the staffing gaps facing anesthesia providers — and founded LocumsNow to solve them, building an anesthesia-specific staffing company rooted in the same discipline and determination that has defined his path from the start.
Outside of work, Clint loves to travel and spend time with family. For him, family is everything — the foundation that shapes who he is and what matters most in life.

LocumsNow co-founder and CRNA leader with an inspiring immigrant journey.
Mustapha Bengara immigrated to the United States from Morocco at the age of 21, determined to build a better future through hard work and education. Before beginning his journey in the United States, he was a competitive athlete, becoming a former Moroccan Shotokan Karate champion and soccer player. He later continued his success in martial arts as a Florida Shotokan Karate champion. His journey in America began humbly, working a variety of jobs, including housekeeping, while adapting to a new country and pursuing his goals.
Through perseverance, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from the University of South Florida (USF). He later graduated from Barry University with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), specializing in Anesthesiology, and became a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA).
Today, Mustapha is a practicing anesthesia provider who values leadership, service, and creating opportunities for others. He is dedicated to helping fellow anesthesia professionals find the right career opportunities with competitive compensation, while helping healthcare clients and facilities develop cost-effective staffing solutions that deliver meaningful savings without compromising quality of care.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, his greatest pride is his family. He is a devoted husband and proud father to SOULtan, SOULaiman, and SOULeena — the three SOULs of his life.
His journey—from competitive sports in Morocco, to humble beginnings in the United States, to a career in anesthesia and healthcare leadership—reflects his commitment to perseverance, discipline, education, family, and the belief that humble beginnings do not define how far someone can go.
