About

Biography

I joined The Ohio State University College of Medicine in 2013 and served on the core team that designed and launched the core education programs—Undergraduate Minor and MA programs—for the Center for Bioethics. I am married to Leah (ICU/PACU RN), and have two teenage boys. In my spare time, I enjoy ultrarunning, gravel biking, and other ways of spending long days in the outdoors.
