Philosophy of Care:
When I began this journey into medicine many years ago, I wanted simply to help. I still do. The smile that I receive when a walk is no longer painful, the sigh of relief that I hear when a disease is eradicated, or the lines softening on the face, as hands touch to say, you are not alone. This and more are what I wish to impart for both residents and patients.

Hobbies:
I enjoy gardening, photography, and travel.
Why Work with CWFMR:
Much of my career has been in rural settings, having been the only physician in town twice. This provides a better continuing knowledge of each patient. As Rural Residency Director, I will provide this experience and knowledge to the new physician. Having previously worked with CHCW Ellensburg, this is a homecoming.
I aspire to:
Provide my best for faculty, residents and patients by diligently working with the latest advances in medicine, business and self-care.
