After 35+ years in the emergency room patching people up, I decided it was time to trade trauma for tech. While still working full-time in emergency medicine, I went back to college in 2000 and earned a master’s degree in information systems—because sleep is optional, right?

Over the years, I wrote countless macros and custom tools for electronic medical record systems, including Epic, making life a little easier for fellow physicians (and sometimes even the IT department).

Now retired, I spend my time writing Java and JavaScript apps, creating YouTube videos, baking bread that occasionally listens to reason, and barbecuing like it’s a full-contact sport. Bytes, Bread, and Barbecue is where I mix the digital with the delicious—and yes, the keyboard has seen smoke.
