Never enough time. Always behind. Unsure what to say yes to—and what to drop. I get it. As a triple-board-certified physician who became a Full Professor in 10 years while enjoying successful work-life integration, I've figured out how to do more of what matters by doing less of what doesn't. With NIH funding, 225+ publications, and leadership including Past President of the International Surgical Sleep Society, I've spent 20+ years at Johns Hopkins, Cincinnati Children's, and University of Wisconsin learning to work strategically, not endlessly—and now I help physicians like you do the same.
