I was born and raised in the small town of Mona, Utah.  At the age of 19, I went on a two year service mission to Brazil.  After receiving a B.S. degree in Biology at Utah Valley University, I attended Edward Via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Blacksburg, Virginia.  There I had an opportunity to do a medical mission to the Dominican Republic.  During residency at Fort Wayne Medical Education Program, I received the Patient Care Award.  After I completed residency in June of 2010, I stayed on as one of the faculty.  I was originally attracted to Family Medicine because of the wide variety of patients and pathology.  My clinical interests include: osteopathic manipulation, pediatrics, obstetrics, ultrasound, procedures, and emergency medicine.

I love to spend my free time with my wife, Kristina, and four beautiful, red-headed kids, Eli, Nathan, Paige, and Miles.  I also enjoy basketball, hiking, reading, exploring, and running half-marathons.
