Glenn Vanstrum '74 mixes his love of medicine, music and surfing with love of family, friends

A Minnesotan by birth, Glenn Vanstrum majored in music at Grinnell College before attending UCSD School of Medicine and training in anesthesiology. Though he has surfed for 37 years, he said he still wipes out frequently. A pianist since age five, Vanstrum studied with Cecil Lytle and Nathan Schwartz. He practices daily and performs works from the classical, romantic, and modern repertoire on a regular basis, playing duos with violinist Roy Bak and trios with Bak and cellist Janet White.
