About Me

Welcome to my Web page. I am happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice. I feel very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente because of my wonderful colleagues and patients, and look forward to working with you to care for your health.

Biography

I trained in family medicine in Tulsa, Oklahoma, eventually teaching at Oklahoma University in Tulsa for a brief time before beginning work as a family physician at Kaiser Permanente in 1989. I graduated from the School of Aerospace Medicine at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas, serving as a flight surgeon in the Air Force. I continue my love for aerospace medicine by doing aviation medical examinations for pilot candidates here at Kaiser Permanente. I have an interest in disaster medicine and am involved in local disaster organizations.

About my practice

Medicine as a career is a very special opportunity to connect with and help people in a meaningful way, utilizing medical skills and knowledge, but also listening and responding to what you might need. I feel honored whenever a member entrusts me with their care, and I strive to treat them as I would my own family.

How I thrive

I firmly believe in Kaiser Permanente's philosophy of staying well in mind, body, and spirit, and try to live that out daily in my own life. My family is my major priority.
