He completed his residency in ophthalmology at the University of Iowa, and currently is an Ophthalmologist at EyeHealth Northwest in Portland, Oregon. During his education and training he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, a recurrence, and then suffered a cardiac arrest, for which Kristin, quickly acted. After surviving all of this with tenacity and a strong sense of humor, he has transformed his hilarity into multiple successful comedic initiatives about medical training
