Faculty

The "Don" of Nepal, John is an extremely influential member of Nepali society and our on the spot trouble shooter. He works tirelessly at the highest level to help the people of Nepal. He is a great human being and a wonderful host. He grew up in the Kathmandu valley and is now professor at Miami of Ohio University where he teaches Sociology. Most of John's time is now dedicated to research in Nepal. John's greatest downfall is that he is "so damn good looking".

Virginia Barber, D.C.

If you don't know who Virginia is by now... we leave for Nepal in October. A 6 trip veteran, Virg is our fearless leader. She is an expert on how things work and how to get things done in Nepal. You should LISTEN to her advice; she's been there and done that, probable twice. A bit on the shy side she is capable of  dodging a camera in a most gazelle-like fashion. After years of effort and with a good dose of luck the photographer  was finally able to corner her attempting to force a group of Nepali school children into joining the Shriners.

Tom is a 5 trip veteran and a great organizer. Tom’s an expert at setting up adjusting sites for optimum efficiency and patient flow. If you listen to his advice and do what he tells you, a site will be up and running in a flash. Tom is the world’s greatest or worst jokester. In fact, he’s a supreme  master of the dry pun!!. Rarely does the opportunity to interject a good (BAD!!) one-liner escape him. NOTE: Listeners so frequently roll their eyes at his "jokes", permanent damage to the optic nerve is a serious concern. Listen to his "jokes" at your own risk.

Tracey Littrell, D.C.

A veteran of international travel including 4 trips to Nepal, Tracey works very hard behind the scenes to make your travel experience a pleasant one. Countless hours of her time are spent planning and organizing. Things usually go so smoothly you may never fully appreciate the work that goes into a trip such as this. All x-rays, MRIs, and CTs will be read by her. She’s our radiology expert, packing expert, rug-buying expert, and spending money on souvenirs expert. She’ll be happy to help you spend your money.

Clay Hollenback

Just some guy who won't leave us alone.  Actually he's "Dr. Littrell's husband". He's another seasoned international traveler and packing expert. He's someone to follow in an airport (although I did get lost last year........South terminal!?!? WHO KNEW!! DOH!!). Clay has made several trips outside the US including 4 trips to Nepal.  He spends his days roaming the adjusting sites helping when ever he can and trying to get you the perfect photo for your practice. If you're looking for knives or a quick tour of Thamel, just ask. Clay is also the author and web master of this site. So if you encounter any problems, talk to Virg... hehehe.. Email Clay
