Summary

I grew up in West Bend, participating in multiple sports in high school and a couple of musicals. I was in the Target MD premed program at the University of Milwaukee, going on to attend the Medical College of Wisconsin. I decided to become a Med/Peds doctor due to the broad in-depth training the dual certification provided. I went to Richmond, Virginia, to serve in urban medical settings for my residency. I married my wife, and we have had three children. We moved back to Wisconsin, where I worked as a pediatrician and internal medicine doctor doing inpatient and outpatient care in Oconomowoc and Delafield. At age 33, I discovered through advanced testing that I was on a path to heart disease and diabetes. This led me to become certified in clinical lipidology to gain in-depth heart disease prevention and treatment. At age 40, I discovered nutrition's incredible benefits in health, leading me to lifestyle medicine. Along the way, I have been interested in chronic invisible illnesses like fibromyalgia, leading me to write a book and start a podcast. And now I have been drawn back to the Medical College and Froedtert Network to bring all these to patients here.The double training in pediatrics and internal medicine has made me a better pediatrician and internist than doing either alone. Some conditions typically don't manifest until later in life, but the silent problems are underway decades prior. These include heart disease and diabetes. In addition, there are conditions that pediatricians manage well, but internists don't have experience with but persist into adulthood, such as ADHD. I also care for all the conditions you would expect from a pediatrician and an internist, but my training goes beyond that. I practice lifestyle medicine and clinical lipidology by becoming a diplomat of the respective boards. I bring extensive training and experience in preventing heart disease through detection and treatment with appropriate advanced testing and medications. Lifestyle medicine involves nonmedical ways of treating, preventing, and reversing chronic illness. I also care for those struggling with chronic illnesses like fibromyalgia, migraines, and irritable bowel syndrome. I aim to blend the best lifestyle medicine and medical management to help patients. In addition to long-term relationships in primary care, some of my most rewarding aspects of medicine are when I can partner with patients to reverse medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, fibromyalgia, and related problems.
