Narrative Biography
About Me
I grew up traveling extensively with my family until finally settling in Canada, where I completed high school and received bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. I went on to medical school at the University of Queensland in Australia, completed an internship and residency in anesthesiology at the University of New Mexico, and followed with a fellowship in critical care medicine at the University of California, Irvine. I’m board-certified in both critical care and anesthesiology.
My wife works in the medical field as well. In Hawaii, we’ve found a home and community that we hope to be a part of for many years to come.

About My Practice
My journey to becoming a physician was not a straightforward one. After starting out in the field of applied sciences, I found my true calling in medicine, where I discovered my greatest fulfillment – helping those in need. This passion has been the driving force behind my career as a physician.
Critical care involves looking after patients and their families during their most vulnerable moments. The challenges are immense, but the ability to alter the course of an illness and set someone on the road to healing is equally gratifying. I thrive in the fast-paced, collaborative nature of this specialty, and am particularly interested in point-of-care ultrasound and transthoracic echocardiography.
How I Thrive
I maintain a healthy lifestyle by spending time with my family, hiking, enjoying the beautiful outdoor spaces on Maui, doing woodworking, and traveling.
