Summary
Well-qualified healthcare consultant with a solid clinical background over 20+ years in the field. Knowledgeable about optimization strategies and evidence-based practices.

Interests
I enjoy just about anything that can be done outdoors. My hobbies include tennis, golf, alpine and rock climbing, skiing and swimming. I have bagged 24 of Colorado's 53 14'ers, as well as several Mexican volcanoes; Including the third highest peak in North America, the 18,491 foot
El Pico de Orizaba. I enjoy keeping up with current affairs/events, regularly read the local paper, and closely follow the Colorado Avalanche and Rockies. Perhaps my most enjoyable activity is spending quality time with my son Ripper; a forest-service firefighter, turning twenty-two in June.
