About Me

I am a US Army-trained Physician Assistant who served 20 years on active duty, including deployments to Latin America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa. I specialized in Aviation Medicine, Tropical Diseases, Disaster Preparedness, and Mass Casualty Management.

After retiring from the US Army, I worked for 22 years in a private practice Emergency Medicine group, staffing one of the largest Emergency Departments on the East Coast. I was the Director of the Emergency Medicine Physician Assistant Intern Training Program, training NCCPA-certified Physician Assistants for careers in Emergency Medicine.
