My Locale Golden, CO
About Me I am a Pediatric Otolaryngologit (ENT doc) at the Children's Hospital Colorado and at the University of Colorado. I enjoy hiking and biking the areas around my home in Golden. I brew/drink fine beer and love an excellent red wine. I am a husband, father, follower of Jesus Christ, and dog lover. I am a self-professed technology, gadget, gear-obsessed, computer geek. I also work too much and hike way too little.
