About me
I grew up in Spokane. After graduating from Pacific University near Portland, Oregon in the late 1990s, I moved to south Puget Sound. My wife and I met at Pacific University, and married soon after graduation. We are blessed with two wonderful teenage sons, a dog, and a cat. I enjoy helping people, and am fascinated by the process of vision. Eye care is very rewarding for me. I am operations chief for the Tahoma Region and South Service Area for Optometry.
About my practice
I enjoy being an optometrist, and having the opportunity to interact with patients and help them every day. I provide comprehensive eye care, with a special interest inglaucoma. I feel privileged to have the opportunity to help people see better, and ensure that their eyes stay healthy. I strive to provide the highest quality eye care for each individual. I am proud to work for an organization that believes in patient-centered preventive care, and in evidence-based medicine. I also enjoy the team-based approach to care, which provides the best results for our patients.
How I thrive
I strive to find balance in life. I enjoy music, sports, backpacking, and spending time with my wife and two teenage sons. I stay active by running. I love to play music and appreciate the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

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.
