Overview
Philosophy of care | Theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, “The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.” I believe children are the most important members of our community. Not only because they are the future, but because they are our present joy and pride. They reflect who we once were and what we value today. | Why I entered medicine | I am committed to delivering the highest quality of care, developing strong relationships and serving others in a manner that is impactful. | Community involvement | I support both local and international charities. I have volunteered in medical missions in Guatemala and continue to seek opportunities to help make our world a better place. | Personal interests | Music is one of my greatest passions. I play piano, guitar and bass. I was once music director for an a cappella group, and I continue to sing and play music for my church. I also love to play sports, especially basketball, softball, volleyball and golf. Mostly, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children.
