About me
I was born and raised in the greater Seattle area. My wife and I have been married for 15 years and we have two young, energetic kids. While attending the University of Washington, I was quickly drawn to primary care, and Kaiser Permanente is an excellent place to work. I feel that my goals in practicing family medicine align with the goals of my patients for quality health care. I like to focus on preventive care, while also addressing any chronic medical conditions.
About my practice
My primary goal is to give my patients the information that they need in order to make informed medical decisions and develop a care plan that will best fit with their lives and personal goals. I love tackling diverse medical concerns while building long-term relationships with my patients. Areas of medicine that interest me include primary care from newborns all the way to geriatric care.
How I thrive
My family and I love to take advantage of the beauty of the Pacific Northwest and all the outdoors has to offer. Whether we are camping, hiking, skiing, fishing or simply playing at our local park, we try to spend as much time outside as possible. While most of our time is spent locally, we also love exploring our diverse country and other parts of the world.

How we choose our network providers and hospitals
Kaiser Permanente uses the same quality, member experience, or cost-related measures to select practitioners and facilities in Marketplace Silver-tier plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business, and uses the same geographic distribution consideration to select hospitals in Marketplace plans as it does for all other Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) products and lines of business. The measures may include, but are not limited to, HEDIS/CAHPS performance, member/patient complaints, patient safety scores, hospital quality measures, and geographic need. Members enrolled in KFHP Marketplace plans have access to all professional, institutional and ancillary health care providers who participate in KFHP plans' contracted provider network, in accordance with the terms of the members' KFHP plan of coverage. All Kaiser Permanente Medical Group physicians and network physicians are subject to the same quality review processes and certifications.
A narrow network is defined as a tailored, tiered, or high-performance network that has 80 percent or less overlap with a health plan’s broadest network offered to a member in any type of plan offered by that health plan. Kaiser Permanente does not have a narrow network with respect to its Marketplace plans. Members enrolled in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan (KFHP) Marketplace plans have access to the same provider networks as members enrolled in all other KFHP plans.
