This is DJ. He's the man. He is 2 years out from spine surgery to correct his scoliosis and hasn't let it slow him down a bit. As a junior last year, he played linebacker led his high school's football team overall in tackles. Looking forward to what he'll do this year as a senior. Proud of you DJ!

We had a great combined Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) & European Paediatric Orthopaedic Society annual meeting at . Dr. Cutchen was involved with making videos with the Wellness Committee, I coordinated the with some great help from fellow PEMR Committee members, and presented some of our research at the trauma session. We also had our inaugural POSNA Pickleball Club game with Brielle Plost, MD and Allen Kamado (look forward to expanding our group at !)

Had an amazing experience with Bayside Medical Missions last month spending a week at Fundacion La Vida in Ecuador on a pediatric orthopedic mission trip. This was my second year going and it was another fulfilling trip. Really enjoyed working with everyone and providing pediatric orthopedic care to children in need there.
