Prior to medical school, I worked in a variety of healthcare settings, so I understand the many types of patients and treatment needs that come to primary care. My clinical focus areas are Lifestyle Medicine and Obesity Medicine. Nutrition, exercise, sleep, and mental health are the first line of treatment. I guide patients to lose weight and manage diseases using healthy habits, and medicines when necessary.

As a man of many interests, I pursued training towards where I see medicine needs to go. I am a husband, father, avid snow skier, plant-based home cook, and violinist. I earned a bachelor's in business administration, a master's in Public Health and a Doctor of Medicine As a Family Medicine physician, I treat acute, chronic, and complex conditions for patients and families. With expertise in lifestyle medicine, I help treat and reverse disease using nutrition, exercise, sleep, social connections, and stress management.
