I began my career as an Electronics Technician in the United States Coast Guard. Afterward, I worked at Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland, CA on a team that constructed "Nellie" a 36" reflecting telescope. I attended the University of California at Berkeley, studying both Integrative Biology and Molecular and Cell Biology with an emphasis in Neurobiology, under the auspices of Marion Diamond and Jeffrey Winer. On August 8, 2008 I met Dr. Charles Yingling who offered me a position in his intraoperative neuromonitoring company and began a mentor protégé relationship lasted until his death in 2o21. I founded Evoked Potential in 2015.
