My Philosophy

I desire to reduce suffering in this life. I find meaning, alignment and delight in reducing suffering. I enjoy doing this in the practice of medicine, in coaching and mentorship, and in fostering creative pursuits for myself and for others. I love doing the impossible, hilly drives, and a super big belly laugh. I think that ultimately we are here to learn and help one another.

In the end, love is all that matters.

How can I help?
