About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world and try to do some good

ABOUT ME

Friendly guy, travel for work, met a lot of amazing people. Started with the Peace Corps in West Africa and kept going from there, work in public health. Physician, gay guy, into triathlons/marathons - just did Ironman Loisville!

Away a lot for work, so I might not be in Boston when you're looking for a couch, but let me know your dates, and I can let you know whether I will be around or not.

Interests

Long-term interests have always been travel/cultures/languages/history.
Recently got into triathlons, marathons, mud runs - pushing limits. Next big challenge - Laugavegur Ultramarathon in Iceland.
