Beyond the operating room

Sailor. Traveler. Adventurer.

A life of curiosity does not stop at the hospital doors. On the water, in the mountains, and occasionally in the cockpit, there is always another horizon to explore.

The journey continues

From Alaska’s glaciers to the Andes—and wherever the wind leads next.

Travel has offered new challenges, unexpected meals, remarkable landscapes, and the pleasure of sharing the experience with family and friends.

Alaska

Across the living ice.

Mendenhall Glacier offered an unforgettable landscape of blue ice, deep crevasses, and constantly changing terrain.

Peru

High in the Andes.

From Cusco to the Salkantay Trek, the journey toward Machu Picchu brought altitude, friendship, extraordinary scenery, and one particularly memorable meal.
