Working in primary care with patients and other clinic staff is a wonderful combination of getting to do critical thinking while working with a team to help individuals in the community to reach their health goals and thus enjoy life to its fullest.

My kids are 10,9,6, and 4 and very busy in sports and gymnastics. Prior to living in Colorado, we have lived in Alaska, Idaho and Oregon. Alaska was by far my favorite state to live in but my wife’s yearning for sunshine is what brought us here.

I love medicine and helping others achieve their optimal health. I believe that with the right attitude, education and partnership, everyone can achieve improved health and happiness. I aim to become that partner in your health that provides clarity and resolution to the problem you may have. I promise to listen to your concerns, provide you options and ways to investigate and resolve the issue, and provide

“I love the gift God has given me to be able to care for other people and their families. I grew up on a farm in a small town       and believe that helped shape me into who I am. I’ve taken the last 2 years off for myself and my 3 sons and feel like I need  to get ‘back to work’ in the career God has led me in. I like the small town community involvement, lifestyle and being able to make a difference in someone’s life. I enjoy spending time with my sons, family and friends. Also I like sewing, machine embroidery, crocheting, gardening, canning, reading, and watching mystery shows.”
