As
Chairman of the Department, I interact with the various components and
departments of the Health Sciences Center, represent the Department to the
larger medical community, develop our budget, manage the personnel, and assist
faculty in developing research and educational activities. An administrative
aspect of the job that I particularly enjoy is the opportunity to apply
operations research methods and process simulation to the many complex hospital
operational issues that impact emergency medicine.
I have
focused much of my academic and administrative activities on hospital and health
system preparedness. I have held positions as the Medical Director for the
New Mexico Office of Health Emergency Management and the Director for the UNM
Center for Disaster Medicine. I am also an active member of the DMAT and
Director of the Disaster Medicine Fellowship.
Another
major area of interest is EMS. In a prior career, I was a paramedic/firefighter
and EMS administrator. In 2007, I concluded a seven year term as the State
EMS Medical Director but remain active in the EMS community.
I have
three young children – two boys and one girl - and an aquarium full of fish. My
wife, Allison Richards, is an orthopaedic surgeon with subspecialty training in
hand surgery. I enjoy fly-fishing for rainbows in northern New Mexico,
light tackle fishing in tropical waters, skiing, and spending time with my
children.

I am another transplanted
Pennsylvanian (like Drs Kresovich, Brillman and Leo), but my route has been
circuitous: from the Mid West to New England to the Deep South to the
Pacific Northwest, and finally here. Some of the finest people in
Emergency Medicine at the nursing, resident and faculty levels work at UNM, and
it’s a privilege to be a part of this department.
