About Me

Currently residing in my home town of Honolulu, HI just having moved back from Seattle, WA where I lived and worked for the last 15 years. I earned my BA from Seattle University and have been working towards a Masters in Biomedical & Clinical Informatics. I am an Eagle Scout & member of the Order of the Arrow with the Boy Scouts of America and maintain my love and appreciation for the great outdoors. My personal interests and pursuits include outrigger canoe racing in the OC-6 category, surfing and stand up paddling. Professionally my interests and experience center around healthcare information technology consulting, information management and telemedicine systems development.
