He has served as a Clinical Professor of Emergency Medicine for Texas A&M College instructing medical students; as the Assistant Medical Director and then as the Medical Director for the Emergency Department at St. David’s Round Rock Medical Center, a Level 2 Trauma Center and Stroke Center; and for over a decade, on the hospital's Peer Review Committee. He is a Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians.
Motivated by learning about his own genetic predisposition for early onset vascular disease (making him a high risk for early heart attack, stroke, and dementia), as well as identifying family members with early cognitive decline, Dr. Strelnieks became immersed in studying the current literature on how to reduce the risk for future disease and age more slowly.
Dr. Strelnieks' true passion is racing cars. Since he was young, he has been in the garage modifying and fine-tuning vehicles to match his skill as a driver. He has been racing for almost 40 years and to date, he has won 25 National Championships in the Sports Car Club of America Solo and Pro Solo series. He is the proud stepfather of two teenage sons and finds fun and competition in all that he does, including sports, golf, electric foiling, and travel.
