Vita
Leif was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, and has been a family practice physician in Alaska for more than 20 years, serving the Alaska Native community. Prior to studying medicine, Leif earned a B.M. in piano performance and an M.A.[a 2] in music theory and composition, and worked as a wilderness guide. Due to trauma from his own circumcision, Leif avoided his Jewish identity for much of his adult life and declined to perform circumcisions throughout his medical training and practice. Upon learning of Bruchim, he is now reconnecting with his Jewish roots, and is eager to contribute to the team with his medical knowledge.[2]
Leif is a member of the Board of Directors of Doctors Opposing Circumcision (D.O.C.) and an advisor to Bruchim.
