From the Doctor:
Since coming to Fernandina Beach in 2000, it has been my pleasure to practice family medicine in the same location. While the practice name has changed over the years, the philosophy has remained the same. I enjoy providing quality care for the families in my community.
Many patients are also fellow church members or attend my children's schools. The sense of family that comes from a small community is one of the joys of living and serving in Fernandina Beach.
I am married and have three children. I am a marathon runner, a triathlete and a musician, and am a member of Memorial United Methodist Church, Amelia Island Chamber Singers, and Amelia Island Runners.
