Personal
What got me interested in pursuing a career in the healthcare field:
In August of 1989, I was nearly killed in a four-wheeling accident in Colorado. After an 18 month period and through the aid and support of many tremendous physicians and nurses involved in my care, I was thankfully able to walk again. As a result of this incident, I learned many things that drew me closer in my relationship to Jesus Christ and incited my deep seated passion for serving others as a physician. I count it a privilege to serve you and your family to the best of my abilities as a family physician and by the grace of God.
Core beliefs about practicing medicine:
Honest, integrity-motivated, Christ-honoring delivery of healthcare to you and your whole family. I desire to deliver the best care and medical counsel with evidence-based knowledge that is customized to your medical needs with input from reasonable guideline recommendations and implemented with compassion. Additionally, my team and I will strive to do so with a smile and our sincere effort to deliver great quality and value to you personally.
My interests/hobbies:
Spending time with my beloved family; Participating in sports: playing and watching (especially college NCAA basketball – go KU) – swimming, soccer, hiking, bicycling in Johnson county and snow skiing. I enjoy reading my Bible, thereby growing in the grace and knowledge of my Lord Jesus Christ. I enjoy learning, especially about new scientific discoveries.
Family:
My wife and I enjoy spending family time with our son and daughter.
