Kari Peterson Hello everyone!  My name is Kari and I was born and raised in the small Eastern Washington town of Wenatchee, known as the "Apple Capital of the World".  Being the younger of 2 daughters, I learned all the tricks from my older sister and gave my parents a few gray hairs before leaving Wenatchee to attend college at Washington State University.  (As you can tell from the picture my husband and I are HUGE Cougar fans!!)  After college I married my wonderful husband, Lance, and worked as an ED tech before moving to Seattle for medical school.   We have loved living in Seattle for 5 years with the mountains, San Juan Islands, vibrant culture, etc,......but are ecstatic for a move to more sun and less rain!  We have a very independent 2 year old daughter named Makena and an old adopted cat that sleeps about 23 hours a day.  The phrase "work hard, play hard" best describes my personality as we love to enjoy life outside of work by camping, fishing, attending sporting events, and of course wrestling with Makena!     Back          Return to Top          EM Home

Drew Southard Hi everyone, My name is Drew Southard, and I spent most of my important years growing up outside of Denver in the mountain town of Evergreen, Colorado.  Not a bad place to be if you love climbing, mountain biking, rafting and other outdoor activities.  I naturally migrated to CU Boulder for undergrad and then spent sometime as a firefighter and river guide in Colorado, Alaska, and the Pacific Northwest.  Somewhere between living in the back of my truck and traveling around the world, I decided medicine would be an interesting career.  Since then, life has really taken off!  My wife, Jenny, will be doing family medicine residency at UNM and we are both really excited about heading down south to Albuquerque.  We look forward to getting to know all of you great people and having many adventures together!       Back          Return to Top       EM Home

Arthur Sullivan I was raised in New Hampshire where I grew up hiking and learning how to ski ice in the White Mountains. I went to college at the University of Pennsylvania and received my BA in Biological Basis of Behavior in 2002. After college, I took a year off to pursue my dream of leading backpacking trips and serving coffee, but I gave it all up to go to medical school. In my spare time I enjoy playing most sports with the exception of lawn darts, cricket, and curling. I like going to live shows and finding new bands. My favorite ways to procrastinate are crossword puzzles, online chess, and any fantasy league I can get into. I’m not proud of it but I once joined a fantasy Nascar league. I’m looking forward to coming to New Mexico because it’s a part of the country I’ve never lived in before. I’m particularly excited about skiing Taos, having my first bad experience with a chile pepper, and digging pot holes on Albuquerque’s municipal golf courses. See you around!     Continue Next Page  Back          Return to Top        EM Home          Contact Us
