About me
I grew up in California and attended college in Walla Walla Washington at Whitman College. I then moved to Seattle and have been here ever since. I love the Pacific Northwest outdoors for exercise and the openness of the people I have met here. My wife and I have twin boys and a spunky dog who keeps us very active in the area. I am very curious about the mind and body and the interactions between them. I am interested in finding health care solutions that help restore balance to a patient, both physically and emotionally. I have spent time in Central and South America on a cervical cancer detection campaign. I have also had the opportunity to travel and study about traditional Chinese medicine in Xian, China.
About my practice
I chose to practice at Kaiser Permanente because of its leadership in the medical home model and my belief in a collaborative, evidence-based health care system. The medical home model allows me to spend enough time with my patients, which I believe is needed to make valuable connections with them. I value focusing on prevention, rather than just the treatment of disease. I listen carefully to my patients and help them make the best decisions they can about their health. I really enjoy the broad range of cases I see practicing family medicine. I especially love seeing how children grow and change with each visit, and developing connections with their families.
How I thrive
Overall, I try to practice what I preach and focus on finding balance in life. I exercise five times a week and enjoy cooking real food. I am always looking for new recipes. To stay healthy, I enjoy trail running, including doing 50k ultra-races. I also practice yoga and meditation. I love the feeling of physical activity and pushing my body to do things it hasn't done before. I try to learn something new each year. My family and I also get outside whenever we can and enjoy spending time at our family cabin. I also like to garden and get my hands in the dirt and taking my dog to the many dog parks in Seattle and watching her swim in Lake Washington.

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.
