Biography

I feel that the patient-physician relationship works toward a common goal of improving quality of life by facilitating the healing or improvement of orthopedic injuries and disease. This requires open and honest communication of treatment, both surgical and nonsurgical.

I have a strong desire to serve the community and individuals to improve the quality of life and reduce pain. I enjoy learning and the continued education required to stay current in medicine.

In my spare time, I enjoy cycling with a local club, playing golf with my wife and backpacking with family and friends.
