I’m originally trained in Family Practice, but made the decision to work ‘on’ the healthcare system instead of working ‘in’ it. I realized very quickly that we have more of a ’sick care’ system than a health care system. Because of this, I left clinical practice and thought I could do better, so I co-founded a wellness and preventative care clinic in Los Angeles in 2003. Soon after we opened, patients began complaining about the L.A. traffic, so we hacked-up a Skype platform and we began doing virtual visits in 2004.

Having no formal business education, I didn’t have the skills to keep the clinic going against headwinds, so I went back to my alma mater and earned an MBA from Kellogg School of Management. Rolling all of this up, I went to Deloitte Consulting for about 10 years and learned everything I could about the healthcare industry.

In that time, we had two beautiful daughters and my wife asked me to get a role with better work/life balance. Now I’m a freelance consultant and I meet very interesting people with incredibly cool visions. Some of them have ideas that are viable and some of them don’t, and I learn from every encounter.

Because of my formal education, and my broad experience in healthcare, innovation, and technology, I have a lot to talk about! It is in the intersection of these three where I’ve been living for the past few years - and it’s a fascinating place to explore. From this experience, I can speak & write about many topics, and can create content around almost any topic related to wellbeing, healthcare, disability, fitness, innovation, and how technology plays a crucial role across all of it.

I’ve taken the liberty to list my recent publications and radio shows below. I’m also attaching my resume for your review.
