I started my career as a college professor and lacrosse coach and moved in to healthcare IT 15 years ago. I enjoy spending time with my family, dog "Henry" and skiing, snowboarding and extreme cross country mountain biking in Lake Tahoe. If I'm not traveling you will find me at home in the garden, with the dog, or on my mountain bike. Hobbies included: (Reading, art, sculpture, history, history of science, comparative cellular physiology, computer science, comparative vertebrate anatomy, geology, natural history, birding, classical music , poetry, mountain biking, back country skiing, snowboarding, and cars).

I also teach part-time at a local community college and university as a way to give back to my communities and to expand my love for the sciences. I teach primarily in the health science (anatomy, physiology, cadaver anatomy, exercise physiology and biology) and volunteer as a board member at music sources (www.musicsources.org) and on sit on the West Coast Presidents Advisory board at Cushing Academy (www.cushing.org).
