My life is much different now that I am in a house full of women (2 daughters, and a physician leader wife). Growing up and attending predominantly male schooling (all-boys high school, military academy for college), it wasn't until I was surrounded by females that I started to really take notice of discrepancies in our society. As a white male, I feel as though it is incumbent on me to help make the realm and world of orthopaedics more diverse and better for our patients and our fellow surgeons.
