Background:
I have been practicing medicine for 33 years and most recently worked in Cambridge, Minnesota. My wife of 40 years, Carol, and I have one son, two daughters, three in-laws, and seven grandchildren in Alexandria; one daughter and son-in law in Colorado Springs; and one silver toy poodle named Phoebe who is also looking forward to moving to Wadena.

What inspired you to get into medicine?
I was inspired by medical missionaries.

Why choose Tri-County Health Care?
It is an outstanding independent organization and close to family.

What do you like to do in your downtime?
I enjoy family time, reading, travel, biking, theater, and working out (looking forward to your beautiful facility). And Skol Vikings!

What is one interesting, unique or fun thing that most people may not know about you?
My wife and I have done short-term medical missions in Kenya and are looking forward to going back!
