I am a retired pediatric orthopedic surgeon originally from Ottawa, Canada. I received my orthopedic residency training there and did extra fellowship training in Toronto in pediatric orthopedics, scoliosis, and musculoskeletal tumor surgery. I moved my family to Las Vegas to begin a 19 year private practice in 1993. I had a great 19 years during which time I developed a spine implant system and several other innovations. I patented a system of linked lever scoliosis derotation surgery in 2004. I licensed my patents to Biomet Spine Company and royalties permitted me to retire in 2014 and pursue my passion of training in developing countries, where there is a huge unmet need. I began doing training missions in developing countries in 2000.

For several years our Rotary Club has provided volunteers to staff the La Jolla Half Marathon Water Station located on Torrey Pines Road near Scripps Clinic Green Hospital.  The La Jolla Kiwanis club sponsors the entire event, and they do an excellent job of making certain all details are worked out well in advance.  The first water station located after the long and grueling Torrey Pines grade climb, Water Station #6 is a key hydration station for most of the overheated and taxed runners.  The water or sports drink you hand to the weary runners, along with your encouragement, provides the needed boost for many runners to keep going. Interact students from La Jolla High along with La Jolla Rotarians and their significant others work together to make certain all the runners can quickly grab a drink on the run.  Come join us for a fun and rewarding morning!
