Currently I am working part-time in two community mental health centers (Well Space Health and Another Choice Another Chance) and consult with three medical review organizations. I also teach at University of California at Davis Medical School, primarily with the Doctoring program.

Activities and awards include: Patrol Director of HVSP, OEC Instructor and Instructor Trainer, Medical Advisor and Recruitment Advisor for HVSP and Eastern Sierra Region, Senior Patroller, National Appointment, Distinguished Service Award and Purple Merit Star Award (saving a life). Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to providing patient care, doing volunteer work as a physician and teaching physicians, mental health workers and ski patrollers.
