Narrative (thoughts on the fellowship)
A passion for understanding human motion in the context of health and fitness has led me to pursue a career in Osteopathic Medicine. Experience through the NMM/OMM Department has allowed me to develop a skillset in manual medicine that is proving to be a highly valuable asset. I hope to be a strong advocate for Osteopathic Medicine as I progress through my career path.
Narrative (personal Hobbies/Interest)
Prior to medical school I was actively involved in: Adventure Racing, Kite Surfing, and Personal Training. My current hobbies include painting, playing guitar, and hanging out with my wife and two dogs.
