Medically and militarily Jed has relied on grace and hard work to ground him and help him excel. These principles helped him score in the top 2% on his national emergency medicine exam, go straight through US Army Ranger School and earn Honor Graduate in the Army’s Airborne and the Special Forces Dive Medical Tech courses.

Outside of Medicine, Jed is passionate about service and fitness. He is an Isopure athlete and loves helping non-gym people work simple common sense fitness into their lives. Additionally, Jed has done humanitarian work on four different continents and teach clinical Ultrasound courses to Physicians in Panama and Peru. Domestically he is regularly involved with the Boys and Girls club, Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership Organization and the Denver Children’s Hospital Burn Camp.
