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.

Emergency Medicine

ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
DIRECTOR, EMERGENCY ULTRASOUND

Med School: University of Utah
Residency: University of New Mexico
Fellowship: Christiana Care Health System, Delaware

Interests: Emergency ultrasound, sunny rock, collaborators.

Lucky for me residency grads often end up practicing where they did residency - I forgot to sell my house, so that worked out nicely. Although a good chunk of my family is back east, the west has been my home for most of my life. Another one of those outdoor nuts drawn to New Mexico, I was also a little bit of an outdoor snob. Utah is a pretty nice place to go to college (think climb any afternoon you like on your choice of rock), spend a few years being a ski bum (Park City arguably has some of the best mountain biking out your front door in the country), and go to med school (think where else can you celebrate finishing your morning gross anatomy practical exam with an afternoon tram at the Bird?). But New Mexico has completely won me over. And Abbey, my slightly-overweight blue cattledog doesn't chase the roadrunners, so that's made us more welcome in the neighborhood (cats, that's another story).

A year honing my skills in Emergency Ultrasound with Paul Sierzenski, one of the pioneers of the field, was the best thing I could have done after residency. And the time I've spent with our residents since my return is the best part of my job. Okay, okay, except perfecting billing and coding ...

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.
