About me
I grew up on the East Coast. I moved to Spokane, Washington, in 1974, and have lived here intermittently ever since. I completed medical training in Loma Linda, California, and my residency in Orlando, Florida. I'm married and have 3 adult children and a growing brood of grand treasures.
About my practice
I always wanted to be a doctor. During my medical training, I realized I enjoyed forming relationships within the specialty of family medicine. In addition to my medical degree, I hold a master's degree in public health with an emphasis on wellness and disease prevention. Over the years I've provided health services in developing nations. Joining Kaiser Permanente was an easy decision for me to make. The organization's patient-centered approach to health care aligns with my values. My philosophy of care includes listening to patients and treating the whole person. I especially enjoy the variety of subspecialties that family medicine offers, which presents something new each day and keeps my attention.
How I thrive
I enjoy outdoor sports, and I look for any excuse to get on the water. I also enjoy traveling with my wife and grown children, woodworking, carving, and reading. Regular exercise of both mind and body helps keep me healthy, motivated, and inspired.

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.
