  • I’m celebrating my three-year anniversary with Pharmacy U

    In recent weeks, I have come to realize that I have done a poor job as a historian to document certain events throughout my career.

  • Why triathletes might make good pharmacists

    I have written about how triathlon is a lifelong journey than offers more than fitness. It forces me to dig deep and push boundaries of resiliency while balancing rest, sleep, nutrition, stress management, stretching and yoga.
