Overview

I am a Des Moines native. Both my undergrad and medical-school education were completed in Iowa. I traveled to Baltimore, Maryland for residency and then to Omaha, Nebraska for fellowship. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and playing music. I had a non-traditional path to becoming a physician and my hope is to treat every patient with compassion and understanding of his or her unique situation.
