In this episode, he discusses his pathway to becoming a certified nurse anesthetist, a remarkable story of determination. He followed this with deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan in the surges of combat operations. He discusses how he applied that experience to training student nurse anesthetists preparing to deliver anesthetic medicine into austere military environments. He also discusses his expertise in diving and dive medicine.

He focuses his operational training on clinical, operational, physical, and emotional readiness platforms. In his last position, he served as the 1st Director of the Surgical Services Service Line, Office of the Surgeon General.
