Interests:
I joined BeWell because I feel that there is a great need for accurate, science-based information about children's health. Parents can make the best healthcare decisions for their children's only when they have the best, most credible information. The enormous volume of misinformation spread via the internet and by the mainstream media has become not just a confusing hinderance to making these important decisions, but a danger to the greater public health as well.

Activities:
Doing anything with my wife and daughter. I listen to music of all kinds but I'm particularly fond of jazz. I am an amateur trumpet player, and I'm always looking for people with whom I can practice. I have always been fascinated by science, learning how things work, and
asking the question "why?" I love being outdoors - camping, hiking, kayaking. I have a hidden passion for astronomy, and so I love a dark, star-filled sky.

Favorite books:
A Winter's Tale - Mark Helprin, Outerbridge Reach - Robert Stone, The Cider House Rules - John Irving

Favorite movies:
Annie Hall, Local Hero, Rear Window

Favorite TV shows:
The Office, Seinfeld, 30 Rock, Lost,  PBS News Hour
