He is a surgeon who has served at the Nebraska Methodist Hospital/Creighton University Department of Surgery and the University of Southern California Department of Surgery. He completed his Surgical Fellowship at Johns Hopkins University, has an MD from Creighton University and a BA from Benedictine College.

“I had text and personal phone calls with every major hospital every morning for almost a year and a half during the pandemic.”
“I was a surgeon. I wasn’t an infectious disease doctor. I wasn’t very knowledgeable about incident command structure. It would have been totally invaluable to me to have better training upfront on incident command structures and pandemic decision-making. I did eventually learn it, but it would have been nice to have it up front.”
