How I Found My Way After Med School

Dropping out of medical school was terrifying.

For money, I had to do something embarrassing; door-to-door sales in my hometown… calling on doctors.

I didnt know where my career was going but knew my intuition was guiding me in the right direction.

I then decided that I wanted to get into medical devices. I had no experience but I just felt that’s where I needed to go.

I got my first break as a rep at Mazor Robotics. I still didn’t know where I was going but felt I was now at least pointed in the right direction.

A year later, I was promoted to US marketing manager. I was unsure about marketing but I was good at it.

The role had a massive scope of duties. From shipping robotic systems to marketing meetings with hospital admin, I was doing everything.

But I was also learning everything.

I was a young man figuring out the system.

And magically it also helped me figure “me” out.

When you follow your intuition it’s scary. It never gives details but it’s always right.

You don’t need to see ahead 10 steps; you just need the next step.

When you know your “why” you can bare any “how”. Then be patient.

Today, I’m the Director of Growth Marketing & Branding of Potrero Medical.
