About Me

Born to parents on two sides of the world, no excuses, was a pizza maker, a steel worker, ceramics glazer, gardener, high school drop-out (rocked the college placement test though), shoe salesman, barista and I even sold salsa once. Now, by the grace of....common sense, I found what it is in life that I love....the well being and health of others. People + love of science and medicine = physician! Negative energy belongs beneath the tracks of my soles, that lead the way to the promise of a new day, and maybe a couple bucks along the way! In the words of Walt Whitman..."You shall no longer take things at 2nd or 3rd hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres of books....you shall not take things from me either, you shall look at both sides, and filter them from yourself".

Looking back is not so very hard to do, I've had extraordinary moments, and ordinary moments that seemed extraordinary at the time. I've raced leaves through gutter creeks, I've both missed and been r...
