He ventured to the Pacific Northwest to pursue residency training in anesthesiology at the University of Washington where he helped expand access to global health training for anesthesia residents. He has been lucky to have the opportunity to study public health in
Northern Chile, trauma systems in South Africa and teach anesthesia in Malawi. He enjoys playing soccer, running, skiing, videography, eating pizza, and exploring new places with his wife Carlie.
