WHAT LIKE ABOUT JOB:  Keeping day to day nonsense of running a business out of the doctor's minds so they can focus on keeping our patients healthy.  Appreciating what an important role our patients play in their families.  Watching such a dedicated, talented staff work their magic.

WHAT DIFFICULT ABOUT JOB:  Minimal contact with clients/patients.  Never feeling like doing a good job with any one task since duties so varied and unrelated.

PETS:  Squirt (orphaned mystery mutt), Hooligan (Terrier mix mystery mutt)

HOBBIES:  reading, plays, travel, hiking, biking, running, "projects" (current project building school in Africa.  Blog at http://gbeapogeekan.blogspot.com), search and rescue (WESAR)
