I am a US Trained Neurologist. I grew up in the Midwest, and attended the Univ. of Michigan and then Univ. of Ohio for Undergraduate and Medical School. I also did Graduate Training in the Neurosciences at Michigan State Univ, Univ. of Colorado, and Arizona. After med school, I attended training in Internal Medicine and then Neurology with fellowship training in Neurodiagnostics. I found myself being a clinical neurologist at several hospitals on the East Coast of the US, but wanted to improve my education. So I went into Research Neuroimaging. Completed a 3 year fellowship with the National Institute of Health, then stayed with them as an Assoc. Scientist, then Full Scientist. I have over 100 publications and 4 text book chapters in Investigative Neuroimaging in a variety of disorders including Drug Addiction and Obesity, and in the mechanisms of actions of several medications, for example Modafinil.
I am married with children and have an active home life. Also active in athletics, in cycling, golf, and weightlifting.
