Hi Everyone, I am looking forward to seeing you in October. Over the years I've spent a lot of time studying and doing research in physics, biophysics and then medicine. I obtained a PhD in Biophysics from the U. of California, Berkeley and SF and an MD from Cambridge University in England. I was a Captain in the Army in Viet Nam. I have two daughters one working at UCLA and the other a painter in London. I've spent a great deal of time playing football, wrestling, rugby, cricket and softball. Currently my wife and I share a medical practice in the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. My wife, Patricia , is a Family Physician and I am an Endocrinologist. I also teach medicine at UCSF. Now days my wife and I bicycle, play golf and travel. (See photo: intrepid explorers Costa Rica January 2010.)
