Summary
Ever since I was a small child I knew I wanted to be a physician. My vision of a doctor was one who came to the hospital bedside of ill people, one who treated pneumonias, heart attacks, and strokes - hopefully to heal and always to comfort. My mother's role as a physician in a hospital and TV shows about doctors (which were always set in hospitals) completed the persuasion of my young mind.
As I went through my education and training I kept this mental picture of my future career, starting with college and medical school at the University of Michigan. Residency and chief residency were completed at the University of California, Davis. I remained at UC- Davis on faculty as an assistant professor and was one of the original founders of UC- Davis's hospitalist program prior to joining Kaiser Permanente.
My family loves it here in Santa Rosa. My wife Valerie, my teenage son Nick, and my twins Kai (my son) and Isabella (my daughter) are so happy that work at Kaiser Santa Rosa is only a …5 minute drive away. Kai and Bella were even born at Kaiser Permanente, making us a true Kaiser Permanente family.
The HBS program here at Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa is a perfect fit for me and my childhood dream. I look forward to many more productive years here!
Taking care of every patient is an honor and an opportunity to make a difference, but I derive even greater satisfaction from treating illnesses related to pulmonary medicine, HIV and AIDS, cardiology, and diseases of addiction.
Current projects or research: I'm part of the regional group to develop inpatient medicine content for the new Kaiser Permanente HealthConnect electronic medical record system.
Locally, I am helping develop the new Department of Hospital Based Specialists.
