Growing up I never planned to be a doctor. I wanted to be a soccer player! I would practice every opportunity I had. I even kicked soccer balls against the kitchen cabinets at night…which my parents LOVED!

When I was 17 I broke my ankle- suddenly my soccer dreams were put on hold. I spent an entire summer in my parent’s basement thinking about my life. After completing my senior year of high school I attended Oakland University hoping to play college soccer.

My girlfriend at the time convinced me to take general chemistry with her. After a month I promptly switched my major to Biochemistry and decided I wanted to be a doctor. The two of us broke up later in our Freshman year of college. Years later we re-established our friendship and remain close today.

Currently I’m in my final year of residency at Cedars Sinai Medical Center.

After residency I will complete a critical care fellowship in Houston, TX followed by a cardiac anesthesiology fellowship in Rochester, NY.

After my 14 years of training are over I will be an expert in the perioperative care of cardiac surgical patients. I will also have expertise in general anesthesiology, cardiac anesthesiology, and critical care.

My full CV is available below

In my free time I enjoy fitness, the outdoors, and binge-drinking sparkling water. My favorite hikes include the Annapurna Circuit, Mount Whitney, Ka’au Crater, and the Kalalau Trail.

I’ve been an avid Crossfitter since my 3rd year of medical school.

I also write books. My first one titled “Vigilance: An Anesthesiologist’s Notes on Thriving in Uncertainty” is now available on Amazon. Link is below:
