He attended Stanford University, where he was a member of the Stanford Cardinal swimming and diving team.[1] He also trained with and competed for the Santa Clara Swim Club. After his swimming career, he married a woman named Amy and completed his MD at Stanford.[2] He has gone on to become a partner in McKinsey & Company's Healthcare Payor and Provider practice.[3]
