To know me is pretty simple.  There is my family, my work, and UCLA sports.  After that everything takes a back seat.  My wife, Anne, and I were married May 7, 2000.  Jeremy came along November 10, 2002 and Danielle oh so quickly on March 10, 2004.  Jeremy is finishing up first grade at Carson Elementary and Danielle will be starting there next year.  They keep us quite busy with all their activities.  Danielle loves anything related to music and dancing.  Jeremy’s current fixation is Lego’s and he’s always been a fan of animals and nature.  We all enjoy getting up to the mountains for skiing and snowboarding in the winter, and hiking and camping in the summer.

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and lived there until moving to Colorado for medical school.  My parents and my sister’s family still live in LA.   I did my undergraduate work at UCLA, following both parents and my sister.  I grew up with the Bruins, going to nearly every bsasketball and football game from the time I was six till I moved to Colorado in 1996 for medical school. I did all my medical training at the University of Colorado until starting practice in 2003. I met Anne (also a Californian) in Denver, while I was in medical school and she was in graduate school. We married 3 years later and decided Denver was the place for us, enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle than California offers.
