What drew me to GME: Having worked in a doctor's office before, I already had an appreciation for the medical field and assisting doctors in patients’ wellbeing. This opportunity presented a different challenge in assisting the resident doctors in their educational success and their wellbeing.

What do I like to do in my free time: In this stage of life, my free time is mostly (and happily) devoted to my family and my faith. A dad of two girls makes for lots of play and pretend time. Needless to say, my wife and I enjoy our downtime, talking about life or watching movies. We enjoy learning and fellowshipping with our church family a couple times a week. I find a respite in getting up before everyone to exercise and on the weekends playing some video games after everyone has gone to bed.
