A CU Medicine provider.
I recognize the great commitment that is required for patients to entrust their lives with me, and I take this commitment very seriously. I strive to get to know my patients and understand their goals and wishes with their care.
Born in Spokane, Washington, moved around frequently due to father being in Air Force, settled in the Florida Panhandle. Enjoy traveling and exploring new areas with my wife and two daughters.
