Biography: My interest in medicine started early in college. I witnessed a motor vehicle accident on the highway and thought it would be good to have the skills to help people in need. I became an emergency medical technician and eventually a paramedic. Helping people with medical problems is both challenging and rewarding. This experience was the foundation my medical career has been built on. \n As an internist, I am able to care for any adult. In addition to being an internist, I am also a fellowship-trained and board-certified geriatrician. I enjoy the challenge of managing complexities that present in later life. Older patients bring great stories and perspective into the exam room. \n Having practiced over 20 years, I am comfortable managing complicated medical problems like heart failure or diabetes, but health promotion gives me the greatest satisfaction. The best medical problem is one that is prevented with good sleep, diet and exercise. \n Quality of life is paramount in my practice. \n In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife, son, daughter and dog. Getting outside is my happy place. Going to the beach and playing disc golf are the pastimes I enjoy.
