ROUND MOUNTAIN,CA

Summary

I actually enjoy both Patient interaction, and a tight schedule. I am constantly jogging between Stress rooms, to keep my patients from having to wait any longer than they need to...but when I do get to them, I'm a master at making them feel at ease. Always looking for "common ground", is a technique I've been fortunate to have mastered over the years.

I took the Hippocratic Oath many years ago, and I've always held it in my heart. I feel I got into Medicine for the "right reasons", and, I've also been lucky enough to make a decent living through working with patients, for over 40 years now.

PET/CT was always exciting to me, because it's a marriage of both Anatomy and Physiology. I never get tired of seeing interesting pathology, I still get fired-up about it. I believe because of my experience and expertise, I can provide top shelf care and job performance, to any Company looking for a great Tech.

Music Performance, Bowhunting

I've played live music in a Cover Band for over 30 years (Keyboardist, Vocalist).  I got involved with Bose Corporation, when we were one of the first live bands to purchase and gig with their L1 Line Array Systems ( we had one for each player ). Through my contributions to the User Forum, I became closely connected to the Founders of the project, and was able to meet some amazing musicians and engineers.  I was flown to several Music Conferences, and given a personal tour of Bose Headquarters in Framingham, MA.  My Band ("the Unmentionables") still uses some of the original equipment I purchased and/or was gifted, in the early 2000s. 



Bowhunting is something I got into in my early years,  and I can honestly say I'm addicted to it.  I've been feeding my Family with Wild game, for over 30 years.  I do not consider myself a "Trophy Hunter"...I hunt for food. Music and Bowhunting are in my blood, and always will be.
