I just can’t seem to leave this place.  Born on the third floor and now working on the first.  Albuquerque is a wonderful place to live, gently nestled between the glowing Sandias and the eerie enchantment of the Rio Grande.  I’ll bet a travel brochure could use that.  I completed residency from guess where in 2002.  Jennifer and I have three darling small children who never fight and share all the time.  Two untrained and overweight dogs round out the peaceful and serene east mountain getoffmuhland compound that we call home.  While many in the department rock climb, I tend to do this only when chased by Bigfoot.  Outside of the ED, I do everything with my wife and kids.  Okay maybe not everything.

I'm a relatively recent emigrant to New Mexico, here by way of New York. I came out at my wife's insistence, kicking and screaming the whole way. She had tired of the dirt and noise and endless rudeness of New York - I was just starting to warm up to it. And though I sorely miss the Nha Trang Noodle House on Baxter Street, I have come to the conclusion that she was quite right to insist that we move out here. Not only do I now have the advantage of spectacular weather and scenery, but I am privileged in being able to work with an extraordinarily talented group of residents and a highly motivated, accomplished faculty. I look forward to meeting with many of you during the upcoming interview season.
