Hometown: Cleveland Suburbs, OH

Brief Narrative:

After growing up in suburbia, I broke from the family tradition of working for food companies by getting a degree in TV production, then leaving that notion behind to go to paramedic school.  After a few years of life in the mean streets of Pittsburgh (I exaggerate--it was a suburb) I went back to medical school.

Since most of my practice as a paramedic had been near Pittsburgh, coming to AGH was a no-brainer:  I knew the ED pretty well and had always been impressed by it, even from the outside, and consistently so over a span of years.  That said more to me than any single interview day ever could, and I actually had them pegged as my first choice before ERAS had actually opened--and I have yet to be disappointed in my high expectations.

Interests: 

Wein, Weib, und Gesang.  Also, food cooked by real chefs, Mon Aimee's hot chocolate, target shooting, cross-country skiing, writing (mostly blogging, really), camping, and the very Baltimorean chocolate snowball with marshmallow topping.  Did I mention long walks on the beach?  Er, wrong profile, sorry.
