Summary

I've called San Diego home since 2001. Before coming to work at Kaiser Permanente, I was a pediatrician with the United States Navy for six years--two years in Guam, and four years at the Naval Medical Center, in San Diego. My wife, two daughters, and I like the San Diego lifestyle and community a lot, and will probably be calling it home for the foreseeable future.
