Hometown: Concord, Massachusetts

MedicalSchool: University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine, LA, CA

Residency: LA County+USC Medical Center

I grew up in Concord, Massachusetts, but after watching the hit TV show The OC in high school, I decided that Cali life was for me and went to Pomona College, where I played outfield on the baseball team and majored in Neuroscience. Realizing I missed the snow, I then accomplished one of my life goals of being a ski bum and moved to Aspen, CO and worked as a medical tech at the bottom of the ski mountain. Sometimes dreams take sacrifices: the few months prior to my job as a "SkEMT", I made ends meet working as a Subway Mascot and dressed up as a giant sandwich, giving away "Buy One, Get One Free" 6 Inch Sub coupons outside of the store. Next, I moved back to SoCal and went to USC for med school and LA County + USC for residency. Finally, I found the perfect mix of sun, snow and awesome people, moving up north to work at Joe's.

Outside of work, you can find me catching first chair on a powder day in Tahoe, cheering on the Patriots and Trojans, traveling off the beaten track, and discovering the best cheap eats the Bay has to offer.
