Hobbies
In general, I am deeply interested and inspired by the way in which the physical world works. I am particular interested in astrophysics, space exploration, science fiction, artificial intelligence, the intersection of quantum mechanics with biology, health care reformation, and the intersection of healthcare with business. My favorite activities are reading and hiking in the Appalachian mountains that I call home.
