About Me
My dad always told me that life is not a straight line to be traveled. So heeding his advice I pursued a degree in business while concurrently learning how to rock climb, backcountry ski, and navigate the backcountry of Colorado, which in turn lead me to “ski bum” around Colorado for most of my 20’s before ever discovering a true passion for medicine. However a fateful ski crash, involving my dad, launched me on a trajectory that involved a lot of wilderness medicine courses, professional ski patrolling, and falling in love with Emergency Medicine, especially when applied in austere and remote environments. But as all good things come to an end. After a long stint as a professional patroller, medical school called and I was fortunate to train to be a DO in Chicago. And the rest they say is history.
