About

During my 3 decade career as a Physician Assistant (the Ginger Rogers' of healthcare, doing everything Fred does, backwards, in high heels, with second billing and a smile), I came to a few major conclusions:

Dr. Sir William Osler was correct when he said, "Half of what you learn in medical school is wrong. Once you graduate, you job is to figure out which half."

Hippocrates was spot on when he said, "Let you food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food."

"The best fertilizer is the footprint of the farmer." (unknown)


Now, I'm pursuing these through study and implementation of organic agriculture, particularly Biodynamic methods. One of my dreams is to be instrumental in  conversion of conventional to organic farming methods using market-based incentives like carbon cap & trade offsets.
