      • Dec 2018 - Present

      Full-time / On-call CT & General Radiography Technologist. Operator of state-of-the-art Toshiba Aquilion CT, we also provide imaging for mountain sports trauma (skiing; snowboard; MTB; hiking) patients as well as full and part time resident imaging services. Big Bear remains a top-three California outdoor destination with many events in every season, making our trauma imaging services busy, and some of the best anywhere, comparing with my previous 13 years trauma radiology at a major trauma center (Sharp Healthcare, San Diego, CA). We coordinate medivac services with several ground and air transport companies. We have an excellent Radiology crew and equipment, lead by excellent management - all of which I am very proud to be a part of. I volunteer my professional interest with a few hospital committees and outside community services. As I state in my resume, I would do radiology for free if I didn't need the income.
