Philosophy of care | My goal is treating others as I would like to be treated; the Golden Rule still works. Every person I meet (including colleagues, staff and students) needs to be treated with kindness, compassion and dignity. | Why I entered medicine | I have the ability to change lives and to save lives. | Community involvement | My wife, daughters and I are very active in the church; our faith is incredibly important to us. I believe it is important to build bridges to the community with volunteer work and outreach. | Personal interests | I enjoy working out, hiking, walking the dogs and reading.
