Life before Medicine: Air Force paper-pusher for 5 years (Ops Support at Vance AFB in Enid, OK and B-1 Bombers at Ellsworth AFB in Rapid City, SD).  Jumped out of perfectly good airplanes at 5000 feet, flew glider planes, and got to fly a T-38.  Volunteer firefighter and EMT.   Kids running club mentor.

Why you chose residency in Montana: In a word, quality.  Initially, it was the place, and then I met the people and learned about the program.  Doesn’t get any better!
