Summary

  • My wife and I will be completing a 2-year term of volunteer service for Deseret International Charities in Mongolia in March 2019. I am looking for a meaningful part-time work as a physician or researcher after we return.

    My orthopedic practice focused on joint replacement surgery at Kaiser Permanente and I have done volunteer work in Haiti, China, Indonesia, Myanmar and Mongolia. I was a mechanical engineer prior to going to medical school.

    I am currently 63 years old, have a California and Utah Medical Licenses, and recertified with ABOS through 2028.
