Raised in Central Oregon, he grew up immersed in an active outdoor lifestyle that continues to shape his approach to health and longevity.

He spent 10 years working in the emergency department, where he saw firsthand the impact of preventable health issues—fueling his mission to help people take control of their health before problems arise.
