I’m most excited about the opportunity that we have created to help our patients have a much better understanding of their status of health and then show them the tools by which they can improve upon that status to an even greater state of wellness.
My time in the Navy, particularly when I was in Iraq, invading Bahgdad with 1st Marine Division.
After work you are most likely to find me playing Soccer or Pickleball, riding bikes or running, or enjoying watching and listening to my children performing. On vacation you are most likely to find me skiing, visiting a foreign country, or lounging on the beach.
I was working in a recreational park doing landscaping and yard maintenance
It would be Switzerland. My father-in-law is Swiss, and we have spent a fair about of time visiting there and I would love to stay for longer than a vacation.
When I was on a mission for my church down in Brasil I found that I could do a lot to help those with whom I visited from a spiritual perspective but could do truly little to help them from a physical/health perspective. There were a lot of diseases and ailments among the people, and it bothered me that I could not do anything to help them. From that experience grew a desire to learn more about how the body functions and what I could do to inspire individuals to make changes in their lives to become healthier. This was cemented in me when I attended a medical conference during medical school for students and residents who were interested in Family Medicine and there was a lecture on Lifestyle Medicine.
