My name is Dale James Bingham but I have been known as “”Jamie “ since I was born. Starting with the things I am most proud of I am the father of 7 wonderful children all with my wife of 33 years, Lisa. I graduated the university of Utah PA program in 2003. I am currently completing a PHD in health sciences. I work primarily in urgent care and emergency medicine. I have had stints teaching full time and as an adjunct in higher education for Utah State university, Steve a-henager college, independence university, and rogers state university. I served as the director of the EMS program for Yavapai college in Prescott Arizona. I have worked in very rural and suburban parts of the country and have worked much in the way of drug addiction. I started my career in the 1980s as a very young teenage paramedic in Los Angeles county California as I am a native of Long Beach California and ended my paramedic career in Tulsa Oklahoma of all places. I am an avid musician who plays every day and still writes cheesy love songs and rock songs like I did in the 80’s.
