About
I'm an emergency physician practicing with Allied Emergency Physicians at Adventist Health Simi Valley where I am the education director for our group and sepsis director for the hospital. I received my M.D. from the University of California at Irvine and completed my emergency medicine residency at Henry Ford Hospital in balmy Detroit. There, I developed an interest in high quality sepsis treatment. Other professional interests include critical care, bedside ultrasound, education, and the integration of technology into medicine. My personal hobbies include wood and metal working, snowboarding, and scuba diving.
