I am a board certified Emergency Physician in practice for 12 years during which I have worked with some of the sickest patients in the country. My time in a field that focuses on damage control and my encounters with chronically ill individuals on a daily basis inspired me to turn to longevity and precision medicine as a way to prevent humans from ever encountering the health care system (or “sick care” system). I encountered individual after individual struggling with complications of chronic illness that should have been prevented long before they presented with heart attacks, complications of diabetes, stroke and functional and cognitive decline. Rather than saving lives in extremis I strive to preserve lives at the peak of function.

This is where VIVID was born. I am passionate about connections with people and the collaborative, creative and scientific process involved in formulating bespoke plans that guide individuals to their optimal life.
