Short Bio

Living in Portland, Or for 5 years, diagnosed with IPF in February of 2018. Denied by UCSF in summer of 2019 due to pre-existing heart issues. Accepted by Stanford in fall of 2019 after steady decline.  I experienced an acute exacerbation in Dec of 2019, admitted to ER/ICU @ Providence in Portland Dec 11th, 2019. Transferred to Stanford Jan 2020 and was in surgery Jan 11th, 2020 for my dbl. lung transplant. After several side effect complications (none due to my new lungs, they are a perfect fit) I am in my last weeks of recovery at an extended stay hotel in Los Altos CA doing great and ready to get back home.
