I am a Physician Assistant in Pediatric emergency medicine. I also was in pediatric and adult cardiology and cardio-thoracic surgery.My first career was in Oncology research with a pharmaceutical company. I have one child, David is a great 16 year old young man who is a great achiever (4 point!) and loves the outdoors, skiing and tennis and backpacking-tripping). My husband owns a manufacturing company, producing factory made mattresses and has retail stores and a wholesale commercial business also.

I train twice-three times a week with a personal trainer-lifting weights. I need to do more cardio and motivation to do so! My love is people, my family and the outdoors. I ski, boat, play tennis, (but not enough). Being married to a "sleep" expert I still don't sleep enough. We eat healthy and I pack my son's lunches, but in our incredibly busy life our meals are take-out or eating out a lot, even though we try to choose healthy choices. Portion control is an issue with my spouse. I hate video games, but did concede to a WII fit! We require the three of us to eat dinner together every night possible when I am not in the ER.My biggest problem is a feeling of stress and alittle overwhelmed at time so I procrastinate! I like your show, and watch it frequently. Thanks.
