About
US Navy (enlisted) and US Air Guard (officer) veteran, Board Certified Emergency Physician, Fire/EMS Medical Director, Science Geek, painter of tiny things, tabletop game enthusiast, advocate of a healthy lifestyle and evidence‑based science. Caring for others has always been part of my life—from lifeguarding in high school, search‑and‑rescue in the Navy, EMT work, to becoming a physician. I apply scientific curiosity and critical rigor to patient care. I was born and raised on the central coast of California, served four years in the Navy, attended community college while working as an IT Network Engineer and as aircrew in the Navy Reserves, graduated from CSU‑San Marcos, then Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine, and completed an Emergency Medicine residency in rural western Pennsylvania. My professional interests include holistic health, preventive care, mental health, nutrition, and debunking pseudoscience.
