Sam grew up in Minnesota, moved to San Diego for college and after graduating was a rural public health Peace Corps Volunteer in Ecuador. Prior to starting medical school, he lived in Boston where he taught high school biology and chemistry. Sam’s wanderlust continued through medical school and his internal medicine-pediatrics residency during which he spent time working and living in Juarez, Mexico, Kampala, Uganda, and Pavia, Italy. He lives in St. Paul with his wife and two kids. When he is not working, he enjoys volunteering at their schools and with their activities.
