Joe Kalis

 The product of a nomadic life, Joe is not really “from” anywhere but is now fiercely proud to call Colorado home. He received his doctor of pharmacy from Shenandoah University. Joe completed his PGY-1 pharmacy practice residency with UCHealth in Colorado Springs, CO, and went on to a PGY-2 oncology pharmacy residency with St Luke’s in Boise, ID. His professional interests include multiple myeloma, hematologic malignancies, bow ties, Sasquatch, and the use of memes in communication.

He likes going off-script, ten-dollar words, breaking things himself, and cavalier use of the English language. The willingness to teach is always present because he loves watching people fully bloom. As an educator, he separates truth from dogma, a daily obstacle course most conform to, rather than escape from. He is an proud acolyte of Mark Twight, Fred Beckey, Edward Abbey, and the American West.
