Noah finished his family medicine residency program in July of 2017, optimistic to start his clinical practice and ready for the challenges ahead. Things started out well, although between changes at the clinic and then the pandemic, he found himself consistently having to put work over family and personal time and was becoming burnt out. Like many others, the pandemic challenged him to reconsider life priorities and he recognized a need for change. After much contemplation, he left his clinical practice in October 2021. This was when he truly appreciated his own solid financial planning through the years; the freedom to make such a significant life change wasn’t stress free but was certainly manageable. He spent the following months as caretaker/chauffeur for his two little girls, woodworking, exercising regularly and re-evaluating life goals. He hadn’t initially planned on making a career change but was not finding himself drawn back to medicine. He is excited to join the PWP team and he hopes his experience further strengthens the group’s understanding of our clients’ motivations, concerns, stresses, joys and hopes for the future

In his free time, he pursues a wide variety of activities. He enjoys hanging out with his wife and two children. He also enjoys strenuous outdoor activities, having done several triathlons and marathons in the past, although with no current plans for future competition. He loves building/creating and maintains a slowly growing woodshop that he wishes was better organized. His backyard flock of chickens provides his family with endless entertainment and fresh eggs!
