I am an infectious disease and public health physician, scientist, retired soldier, and author. My specific expertise is in containment of special pathogens, like Ebola, and germ warfare defense. My books include: “Inside the Hot Zone” a memoir medical thriller about managing infectious disease crises, "Biohazard 9-1-1" a novel about an outbreak in a small town that leads to a pandemic, and “The Nebraska Isolation and Quarantine Manual” a resource for medical personnel.
