Biography

Two demanding professions, one continuous education

I've built a career at the intersection of law and medicine, and a life around travel, teaching, technology, and the outdoors. This is the longer version of that story.

Core Values

  • Curiosity

    Learn continuously and never outsource understanding.

  • Service

    Both professions exist to help people in hard moments.

  • Precision

    Details decide outcomes in medicine and in law.

  • Adventure

    The best perspective is earned outdoors.

Personal philosophy

Careers are not ladders — they're maps. Nursing taught me to act decisively with incomplete information. Law taught me to build an argument that survives scrutiny. Travel taught me that expertise is portable and humility is required. Teaching keeps all of it honest: if I can't explain it simply, I don't understand it yet.
