What I tell my friends and family: Wear your seat belt, wear your bike helmet, get outside and be active.
How I spend my free time: Coaching basketball and baseball, watching one of my five children excel in their chosen sport.
What patients say about me: I'm told that I take the time to listen and explain the problem at hand well. One patient told me, "You're looking good from using your treadmill desk."

Practice philosophy: Being active, eating well and sleeping well = health.
