I am founder and co-owner of Watershed Community Wellness, a multi-disciplinary holistic health clinic in Portland, OR (http://watershedcommunitywellness.com). I am also adjunct professor, teaching herbs at National College of Natural medicine (http://ncnm.edu)here in Portland. I am also founder, writer and chief editor at Deepest Health (http://deepesthealth.com), a primary source of information about Chinese medicine for practitioners and students of the medicine. I graduated from Oregon State University with two bachelor's degrees, one in Philosophy and the other in Biology. I did all of the coursework for a Masters in Applied Ethics, but did not finish my thesis, opting instead to enter medical school. I graduated near the top of my class from National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, OR with my Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine in 2009.
