John loves his family, his friends, skiing, biking, running, cooking, traveling, writing and watching films. John received his M.D. at the University of Utah, which is where he also completed his residency training. He received a B.A. from Georgetown University—where he did not take a single pre-med class. John has been a river rafting guide, ski race coach, assistant soccer coach, bagel baker, environmental entrepreneur, screenwriter, film director, and expedition doctor. He attempts to stay healthy, but still falls off his bike (a lot). Fortunately, his wife and kids are there to pick him up.
