About me
I grew up in a small town in Illinois called Blue Mound, where I worked my first job in a cornfield. After completing my medical training in the Midwest and on the East Coast, my wife and I moved to Washington to be closer to family. We met in college. We have two cats, which we spoil.
About my practice
I've always had a passion for science, and I also enjoy getting to know people. My career in family medicine combines both of my passions. I joined Kaiser Permanente because of the collegial environment among the providers, and because the Kaiser Permanente philosophy of health care delivery really resonates with me. I love working inside a health care system that I can refer my family to with confidence. My goal is to partner with my patients as their personal advisor for all their health care concerns. This means helping people stay healthy as much as it means helping people get healthy. I recognize that understanding every patient's values, goals and personal story is every bit as important as understanding the science behind their disease. Connecting on a personal level with my patients and helping them feel better is a joy and a privilege.
How I thrive
Some of my favorite vacations have been road trips where there was no destination in mind, just a car, the open road and a few days off. I also love any sort of friendly competition from lawn games to soccer to racquetball. I've always found jogging to be my version of meditation. I stay mentally and physically sharp with regular exercise, eating my veggies, and sharing laughs with the people around me.

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.
