About
Bio
I'm already a board certified Family Physician but also Chief resident in he department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Tripler Army Medical Center. I have had the opportunity to practice all around the world. Some places were wonderful (Washington DC; Stuttgart, Germany; Hawaii; Vietnam) and some, not so much (Iraq, Afghanistan).
I currently reside with my wife and 2 boys in Honolulu, Hawaii.
When I'm not working or spending time with my family, I am usually training. I am a USAT ranked competitive Triathlete and Marathon runner. I love the area of endurance physiology and sports nutrition and how it relates to long distance competitions.
