What do you like about the Ann Arbor Area?
Friendly people. Easy access to nature, and always something to do within a block or two, day or night.
What do you like about fellowship at Michigan?
Constantly being nudged out of my comfort zone. Supportive colleagues. Busy but not too busy?
About you:
I enjoy running around in the woods, laying around on the couch, good food, good company, and weird country music.
When I was four, I put my hand on a hot stove, apparently to see what it felt like. I'm a doctor now.
