Favorite clinical rotation: My favorite rotations have always been in family medicine because of the connection with my patients that I am able to take some extra time and talk to them about their lives and what I can do make their day a bit brighter.

What drew you to Family Medicine? Family Medicine is all about building relationships with people and giving them the tools needed to improve their health and life. Family medicine physicians are one part clinician, one part educator, and one part community leader and friend. People come to us with all sorts of questions and complaints and are looking to use for our guidance and wisdom. It is that dynamic nature of not really knowing what the day holds that makes each day in practice exciting and unique.

Anything else you want people to know about you? My wife, Michelle, and I will be celebrating 11 years together this January and have quite the busy home with our Husky, Nicky, and two large cats, Tuna and Bear. A nerd at heart, I enjoy playing World of Warcraft as it gives me a way to spend time with my brother virtually. However, I would much prefer staying connected with drinks and good conversation. I am picking up reading again and prefer history and current events to fiction. Spiritually, I am bettering myself with online Bible study.
