I grew up in Utah, only living outside of the state for my time during PA school, where I received my Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, CO. Prior to PA school I was an IR tech. I love spending time outdoors with my wife and friends - mountain biking, fishing, hiking, camping, and exploring rural, small, and ghost towns. My wife and I also enjoy running the Salt Lake chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a non-profit building, and delivering beds to kids without, fulfilling the mission of "no kid sleeps on the floor in our town!"
