Overview
About Me
I am an artist turned paramedic who found his home in community outreach and activism. Working in emergency medicine gave me a crash course on my own strengths and weaknesses.
I love humans, even having seen some of the deepest depths their "skeletons" can reach. I believe that existentialism answers most judgements we face or express by grasping that we are the current sum of our actions. How we act in the face of hardships and strife bleeds our true colors.
Now I want to give back to the community before they are sick or wounded- as one of the tribe. I am an observer by nature.
I love to watch people. This happens for me without bias or expectations because I have learned that we don't act like a textbook says. We act in ways that are important to us. Whether we're choosing the appearance of our stride or helping our peers in their times of need.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've watched a human die and helped them continue living.
Teach, Learn, Share
The subject I teach best is medicine, but I love conversations spanning many topics.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am certified in many different forms of medicine, but I am willing to help my hosts in whichever ways best suits them. I am a quick learner and hard worker but I've learned to find my strength in a tribe.
