About Me
I am a family medicine trained physician who works as a Hospitalist in Anchorage Alaska with the Alaska Hospitalist Group. I was diagnosed with AML in 2013 and underwent treatment including a stem cell transplant. I was born and raised in Colorado where I was a avid Nordic ski racer, soccer player and mountain biker through college before going into medicine. I continue to be very active despite my cancer. I have two wonderful little boys 3 and 6 who were the reason I started writing. My wife is a physical therapist who has not only pushed me through my cancer but been my greatest friend in life.
