Outside of work, I’m passionate about gardening, cooking, and instrument flying, but I mostly love spending time with my wonderful wife. I’m a former farm boy from humble roots who appreciates the trust and confidence of so many thousands of patients over the years. While my schedule keeps getting busier and busier I remain committed to providing the best care possible, one patient at a time.
