Biography
I grew up in the Chicago area and went to PA school in Savannah, GA. After working in a rural ER setting in Illinois, I moved to Mexico and treated migrant farm workers. I then moved to sunny California and worked in an ER for several years before transitioning to full-time academia in 2021 where I served as principal faculty, clinical coordinator, admissions chair, and on PAEA's Diversity Committee. In my free time, my wife and I love to travel, hike, and listen to podcasts. We also adopted a pug puppy named Pugsley.
