More About the Author

Born in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia and raised in the Republic of South Africa, I immigrated to the United States in 1978. I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration (with an emphasis in Finance) at Columbia Union College in 1984. I thoroughly enjoyed editing the school newspaper and year book and operated "Columbia Investors". I completed medical school at Loma Linda University in 1988 while teaching anatomy for the dental and physical therapy students and serving as the social director for the class. After an Orthopedic Surgery internship in 1989, I completed a Pathology Residency at University of California--Los Angeles in 1993. At UCLA, under the direct influence of Drs. Yao Shi Fu and Dorothy Rosenthal, I developed a strong interest in head & neck pathology and in cytology. After doing advanced training in Cytopathology, my wife and I spent 6 months traveling around the world, visiting 23 countries before joining the United States Navy (CAPT, MC, USNR). With triple Board Certification in Pathology, I worked for a decade at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Washington, DC, developing a specific interest and expertise in pathology of the Head and Neck and Endocrine organs. During this time, I served as Chief of the Division of Otorhinolaryngic-Head & Neck Pathology, Chief, Division of Immunopathology, and Assistant Chairman, Department of Scientific Laboratories. I was honored to receive the John Hill Brinton Award in 2001. I have continued to enjoy research (over 140 research papers). I currently serve as the co-editor of Head and Neck Pathology; serve on the editorial boards of a number of peer reviewed scientific journals; teach at national and international conferences; serve as an active member of a number of national and international societies; and collaborated on the World Health Organization's books for Head and Neck and Endocrine Organs. I really enjoy writing, and besides publishing chapters in many major pathology, endocrine and head and neck surgery textbooks, I have also published a number of books. Besides work, I thoroughly enjoy traveling, weight lifting, stained glass, cake decorating, SCUBA and any time with my wife and cats.
