Overview
I knew from an early age that I wanted to be a primary care physician like my grandfather. His passion for his work is one that I now share. I firmly believe in the importance of prevention and make every effort I can to engage my patients before they become ill, so they can remain happy and healthy members of their communities. I feel honored that my patients have chosen me to serve as their primary care physician. It is a privilege to share in people’s experiences, especially when they are feeling most vulnerable. When I'm not practicing medicine, I am trying to soak up every moment I can get with my wonderful wife and two incredible kids. I also love music and play the banjo, piano, and cello.
