Other authors I enjoy are Lewis, Feist, Martin, Rothfuss, and Sanderson. I enjoy cooking and baking with my wife. I am an avid tabletop gamer, involved in multiple dungeons and dragons campaigns, currently playing a College of Swords Bard in a campaign with several other physicians in Omaha, and preparing to start a campaign for my fellow co-residents at UNMC.
