About Me

I am 45 years old and live in New Jersey. I am a physician who works in the field of Maternal Fetal Medicine. This is the field of medicine that deals with high-risk or complicated pregnancies. I am a committed Christian, and my love for Christ is the guiding force in my life. I have several interests including music, movies, eating out, photography, traveling, cooking, reading, sports, and writing. I love to travel and see the world. I have lived in Africa, Europe and the USA.I have a small home recording studio where I record my own contemporary a cappella arrangements of spirituals and jazz standards. I am a BIG fan of the multi-Grammy winning contemporary gospel/jazz/soul a cappella group Take 6, the greatest vocal group on the planet. If you have not heard them, you have missed one of the greatest experiences you could ever have. Even better, catch them live in your city. Their newest CD, Feels Good, is in the stores now:-)I am also an award-winning photographer. Please check out my photo website; I think you'll like my images: http://www.photo.net/photos/YinkamdIf anyone has any interests in reading my scientific publications, here is the link: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search& ;DB=pubmedA lot of my work involves helping prevent the deaths of unborn babies. I have a special interest in vasa previa, a malformation of the umbilical cord that can lead to the deaths of otherwise healthy babies. http://obgyn.adv100.com/obgyn/article/articleDetail.jsp?id=1 14103 www.vasaprevia.com

My Interests

Music, photography, traveling, cooking, audio and recording, hiking, reading. Please visit my photography site. http://www.photo.net/photodb/member-photos?user_id=1024128I took up photography as a hobby about a year ago, and have since had a few exhibitions and had a few photos published, including having the Photo of the Month in Digital Photographer magazine.I love my job, and do a lot of research and writing aimed at improving outcomes for babies and mothers in high risk pregnancies. My job partly involves prenatal ultrasound, so I get a unique view of life before life. It is an incredible experience, and I would not change my job for the world. It fills me with reverence for life, and recognition of the Creator who is behind it all.
