Growing up in the rural hills of North Central Pennsylvania, the wilderness is my home. Wilderness medicine has become my passion over the last twenty years of learning and practicing in various outdoor settings.

Wilderness medicine is an art as much as it is a science. Allow me the opportunity to share wisdom and experience that has been gained - and honed - and help you apply your knowledge and skills to patient care in rural and resource limited environments. My extensive background in higher education teaching traditional and adult learners gives me a strong background in providing a structured educational experience.

I have additional education and experience in developing complex process improvement solutions for businesses and healthcare entities. Additionally, with this background I also have expertise in developing emergency action plans for large groups in both education and industrial settings by being able to think outside of the box and look at situations from multiple points of view.
