Your goal as an EMRA leader: My goal as an EMRA leader is to work to inspire and share my passion with EM residents about the field of sports medicine and the unique opportunities that it presents for EM physicians.

What is something people don't know about you?
I'm trying to visit all the national parks and have done 16 in the past 2 years.

If I weren't an emergency physician, I would be: A chef and own a bakery!

Last non-textbook I read: "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss (Think Harry Potter meets Game of Thrones)
