Vern Miller:  

Hi Folks, After school I went to college for a few years and was a DJ in bars-clubs and a little radio. This website asks where I was from 83-91. I don't quite remember all of it...Perhaps this is a good thing. Maybe some of you can help fill in the blanks. It seemed like long party intermixed with loud music and insane women. 1991- Traveled the US and a bit of Canada for many months then came back to Pgh and cut the long hair and was a commercial real estate broker for most of the 90s. I had an office downtown and did a good bit of development in the Cranberry and Wexford area. Yes, I am guilty. I hated the development and felt like a hypocrite. I needed a new plan. 1995 I quit smoking and went back to school while still working full time. I got involved with Search and Rescue in Pgh and started rock climbing again. 1997 - 2000 Finished school at the University of Pittsburgh and Center for Emergency Medicine. Ended up teaching there for awhile. Worked EMS as a paramedic in East Pittsburgh for some experience. 2000-Present: Moved to Estes Park, Colorado and bought a house. Rocky Mountain National Park is my back yard! I started TrailMed Wilderness Medicine as a side project that has grown. I teach and provide wilderness medicine internationally. Recently in 2007, I have run courses in Tanzania for guides on Kilimanjaro and in the Serengeti. I spent 2 months in the Annapurna Range of Nepal climbing as an expedition medic. I work part time as a flight paramedic on a helicopter north of Denver...Expand for more
