I grew up in Madras where I felt called to care for the medical needs of our town. I have spent my entire career providing general Family Medicine in rural areas across Oregon. Nearly all of that time has been working for non-profits who mostly cater to the underserved.

Happily married for a generation and enjoying our children’s families. Riding road and mountain bikes whenever I can. Tinkering on old trucks in between. Our current “live in children” are retrievers who I enjoy playing with, walking and throwing balls until my arm gets tired. Additionally, I enjoy looking for ways to help make the job of providing health care as easy as possible for Mosaic providers.

I also communicate with patients using American Sign Language (ASL).
