Author: Dr. Hawk

Dr. Hawk is a contributor for The Hub and a physician, writing primarily on the intersection of sociology and sport, politics, and medicine. As his time as a clinician/consultant is winding down, an increasing amount of written works will be created (to include a book soon). A medical colleague once inquired, “Why do you write so much?” His reply: “One, because we are all granted a finite amount of gifts that we must share. Two, we won't be doing outpatient surgery in Heaven, so I am getting warmed up. Lastly, some talents we will discover early and some later. Others, if left dormant, can potentially decay.” He believes fine writing is analogous to cutting a fade on somebody who let their Afro get a bit out of control. It requires choosing the right client and debulking (topic choice/research/gathering of facts), picking the proper clipper guards—zero through three—and blending (outlining and creating a continuous flow of ideas by reinforcing inferences with concrete data), performing the touchup work (editing and putting on the sauce). Then, complete the lineup (edge) and c-cup, and add enhancers if needed (careful proofread). Truth-telling and teaching via writing are spiritual. The happily married (over 26 years) father of three gorgeous princesses is an avid weightlifter, pool hustler, and next-level saltwater fisherman.
