dana cowles - BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Cowles is a board-certified Emergency Medicine Osteopathic Physician with a dual degree in Philosophy. He brings clarity to history, a unique perspective and passion to life's purpose.

Dr Dana Cowles was born in Boise, ID, the son of a dairy farmer. He was raised around the greater New York City area. He was educated at St. John's University with a dual degree in Biology and Philosophy, and then obtained his Osteopathic Medicine degree at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. 

His childhood was full of experience and exploration, but also significant fears. Those fears were amplified by a violent car accident at 14 years old. That quickly changed a feeling of fear to helplessness. He then spent the majority of his adolescent and young adult life pursuing a goal of fearlessness. He spent his free time on a wrestling team, and then started chasing jobs that would be fun or exciting. 

During college, he gained an EMT license and worked around the Jamaica, Queens area. Shortly after he started, his partner was murdered at home, alone, and reinstituted those feelings of helplessness. He progressed as an Emergency Medicine physician, obtained a private pilot's license, and a severe adrenaline addiction, all trying to chase down that fearlessness. 

With the philosophy background, and the experience of that Emergency Medicine career, he learned the value of fear, pain, and anxiety, as well as how to channel and use them. He also learned that a lot of goals in society have been pushed in the wrong direction.
