Autobiography

Before I first got introduced to the science of sleep I had no idea what adventure awaited me. It began in 1994 when I met Helgi Kristbjarnarson, MD, PhD who later became my close colleague, friend and mentor. It only took him a few minutes to convince me about how exciting and rewarding the field of sleep would become and how technology could dramatically change the way it was practiced.

Being able to participate in the advancement of sleep medicine over the past decade has been a tremendous experience, especially seeing diagnostic and therapeutic services become available to more people and efficient treatment solutions being developed.

However, the field is still in it's infancy. The exceptional team behind Fusion Sleep set out to seize the opportunity to deliver a whole new level of professionalism and care to patients, through integrated clinical pathways, translational research and customer service. Concisely; we are shaping the future of sleep medicine.

Sincerely yours
