An old farm boy, I chose to pursue medicine when my best friend died from Hodgkin's Lymphoma when I was 15. Married to an amazing woman for almost 35 years. I have 3 wonderful kids, one fantastic son-in-law, all of whom continue to amaze me. I enjoy providing high-quality care for my patients and building relationships with them. I also enjoy creating for people in my woodworking shop. Mostly, I work to honor Jesus as a devoted follower and servant.
