About Me

CURRENT MISSION

discovering one new thing every day

ABOUT ME

Fun, open minded, adventurous guy who loves the outdoors and the big city. I travel all the time and love a good party. I am a resident physician, so that keeps me pretty busy when I am at home, but I play hard when I get a vacation!

I live in midtown Sacramento, which is the trendy area of town. There are a lot of restaurants, art galleries, and bars/clubs nearby. The state capital is a few blocks away, as well as numerous parks and trails. San Francisco and Tahoe are both about 1.5-2 hours away in either direction :)

Quite a variety from fiction and fantasy, to politics and social commentary. I'm kind of a book junkie these days. I enjoy satirical accounts of life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun rise over the Chilean Andes in the Atacama desert...it must have been -20F on my trek out, and I came close to having to amputate my toes from frostbite, but it was well worth it... You are able to see every star in the pitch black southern sky give rise to the most amazing colors as the mountains slowly appear below. It was so quiet; the only thing you hear are your own thoughts. Truely a spiritual experience.
