Bio
I became an EMT in New York in 2006, a medic in 2009, and a remote paramedic in 2018. Through my experience working in EMS I found myself drawn to less traditional settings such as special events and endurance races. In 2011 I became a professional ski patroller which fueled my acceleration away from typical EMS. The challenges presented by working with limited resources in difficult environments was invigorating.
My life changed when in 2016 Team Rubicon recruited me to serve as a medical team leader and medic at a refugee camp in northern Greece. Through that experience I found a love for humanitarian medicine and conflict/peri-conflict medicine.
I have been fortunate enough to provide care, lead teams, educate, and solve problems in British Columbia, Offshore Alaska, Kurdistan, Iraq, Ukraine, Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Mexico, Guatemala, Guyana, Grenada, and St Lucia.
As an educator I’ve taught WFA, WFR, Wilderness EMT, Wilderness medicine for advanced providers, and a private specialty austere critical care course for US Army Special Forces.
Over the last few years I have split my time between working in Health and Safety for the film industry and humanitarian medicine in Mexico and Sierra Leone (acute disaster response). Nearly all of 2022 was spent working in Ukraine for several humanitarian organizations.
