He describes his practice approach as this: "I believe primary care should be based on open communication between a patient and their provider. I like developing a relationship with my patients so that we can work together to achieve specific goals and work towards the highest quality of life possible." In his spare time, he enjoys hiking, fishing, skiing, weightlifting and spending time with his wife, Lindsey, and their dog, Smudge.
