My Story So Far…

Raised in Phoenix AZ my father was a General Practice Physician, which enabled me to get my first job in Hospital at the age of 17.

I was among the first nationally recognized EMTs trained in the 70’s and I taught fire prevention in the school Systems.

I was the founder and manager of the first of its kind rural emergency clinic at Crystal Mountain Resort in Washington. (Near Mt. Rainier) I was also a professional ski patroller, avalanche certified. I graduated from the University of Washington MEDEX PA School (one of the oldest and most respected in Nation) and I hold a Degree in Clinical Health Sciences.
