From the Doctor:
My time as a family medicine physician in the Navy took me around the country and the world. I lived in Guam, North Carolina and California, and I worked on the USS Nashville in Norfolk, Virginia.
I've treated many patients, but what I enjoy most about my career is the opportunity to provide care for entire families, from newborns to grandparents. I do my best to be a good listener, and I try to be proactive with the care I provide.
My wife and I have three children, and, when I'm not spending time with them, I enjoy gardening, basketball and working on computers. I also volunteer for the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic service organization.
