About Me
I was born in Michigan in the 60’s and grew up on a farmland there in a family of nine- my mom, dad, five brothers and one sister. I was fortunate to attend a good public high school, developed a love of science and went on to college at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. About halfway through my degree work, I took a semester off and attended a professional umpire school. I earned a job and subsequently traversed the country umpiring professional [minor league] baseball for six years. Having satisfied my wanderlust and realizing that I loved books and learning, I returned to the university and graduated with an honors degree in philosophy. I continued my education at the University of Michigan Medical School, where I graduated in 1997 and chose emergency medicine as my career path. I completed a residency in this specialty at the State University of New York at Buffalo in June 2000. Over the years, given my interest in health care policy, I …had become aware of The Permanente Medical Group and its practice model and wanted to join. I thought the Bay Area was one of the most beautiful places I had ever visited. So I joined The Permanente Medical Group in August 2000 and have settled into my practice in Walnut Creek.
Emergency medicine as a specialty is relatively new and was recognized as such by the American Board of Medical Specialties in 1979 when the American Board of Emergency Medicine was established. I enjoy the diversity of cases along with the diagnostic challenge, and I enjoy using my procedural skills. And helping someone in an emergency is often gratifying. I am especially interested in trauma and critical care, use of ultrasound as a diagnostic and procedural tool and the county EMS system.
