                                    While I enjoy working with patients of all ages, particular professional interests include hypertension, adult cardiovascular preventive medicine, diabetes mellitus, adolescent medicine, migraines and sports medicine. 
I have been a Family Practice physician since 2000. A native of southern Minnesota and graduate of the University of Minnesota School of Medicine, I trained and worked in rural Wisconsin for nearly a decade before returning home to Minnesota in 2008. I am also a recently retired veteran of the United States Army Reserve. I now look forward to meeting many of you at the Park Nicollet Clinic in Prior Lake and hope you will find me to be a knowledgable, kind and compassionate source of medical advice and treatment. 
Outside of work I enjoy spending as much time as possible with my wife and children. Skiing, soccer, gardening, bird-watching, hiking and camping are some of my favorite activities.
