Noah currently resides in Salt Lake City, UT, where he attends the University of Utah as a premedical student, and serves as a Teaching Assistant for Human Anatomy. When not studying, you’ll find him enjoying the seasonal fruits of rock climbing and skiing in the nearby Wasatch Mountains. In June of 2008, Noah traveled to El Salvador and was fortunate to have the opportunity to volunteer in a local, public health care facility, The Zaragoza Clinic. While volunteering it became evident that the well-trained physicians and nurses that served there were tragically under supplied. It was within this context that the Benefit El Salvador Project was born.
