I am originally from Indiana but have lived and trained in a lot of different places around the country. I attended college at Indiana University, where I studied German and biology. I graduated from the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed my residency in family medicine at the University of Minnesota. Before the residency, I also completed an osteopathic internship back in Indiana, where I received additional training in osteopathic manipulative medicine. I come from a long line of physicians (my mother, grandfather, and great-grandfather were all doctors), but I am proud to be the first family medicine physician.
