Being a Family Nurse Practitioner, I look at the whole patient while assessing his or her physical, psychological, social, culture, environmental and spiritual needs. I am also on the frontline of health care because I believe in utilizing prevention as way to promote good health and prevent disease; in turn, each patient I encounter receives high quality and cost efficient health care. I am married to my wife and have one daughter. We enjoy outdoor activities including camping, fishing, horseback riding, hunting, bonfires, skiing and snowboarding. I also have a passion for singing, songwriting and playing music of all kinds. I am involved in my church and volunteer to play music at the church services."
