3. Home
3.1. Family
3.1.1. Wife
3.1.1.1. She is my wife of 16 years, perfect travel companion and a radiologist. Our favorite hobbies together include enjoying good food, traveling, and kayaking on our trips.
3.1.2. Son #1
3.1.2.1. He is 9 years old and loves to watch and play football. Sometimes I wish he knew his times table as well as he knows football facts. Arjun is a complete extrovert, he could probably talk to a tree.
3.1.3. Son #2
3.1.3.1. He is 5 years old and going on 14. He is incredibly articulate and bossy. I love to watch him speak and rationalize his thoughts. Unlike his brother, he is a complete introvert. I love seeing how the brothers look so similar but are so completely different from each other and both of us.

4.1.1. I have worked at Sinai Hospital in inner city Baltimore for the past 12 years.
4.1.2. More recently I have taken on the role of an academic, I teach medical students and practice with resident physicians. It makes my job more challenging and simultaneously rewarding to train future doctors.
