I work to merge two related fields, treating sleep apnea by anatomically optimizing airway size and function, and teaching breathing biomechanics and proper function of oral musculature. I live in Colorado in something of a wellness mecca, where I do all of the outdoorsy things -- hiking, climbing, yoga, half marathons. I see a pathway to reform early childhood growth and development on a large scale, and if successful it would help millions of young people to thrive.
