Brief Intro

My passion for family medicine is rooted in my family experiences. As the oldest of 9 and the father of 7 children, I have witnessed the influence of the family on the well being of its members. I am fascinated by the interplay of psychological, psychosocial, and physical dynamics on the health of the individual. I am thrilled with the privilege of assisting at a birth and awed at my small role in helping children grow to adulthood.
