Summary

What I DoMy goal is to provide excellent individualized care, helping my patients navigate what is often the most challenging and vulnerable time in their lives. A clinical interest of mine is emergency general surgery.Why I Love My WorkI have always worked with my hands and I enjoy learning about and treating surgical disease. I went into medicine because I wanted to make a profound difference in the lives of others. The opportunity to meet and help new people every day is rewarding.Getting to Know MeI came to CentraCare for the opportunity to practice in a solid health care system and in a community that is great for my family. Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, playing racquetball and spending time with family.I have a background in economics and have a prior career working in a family flooring business before going into medicine.
