My Approach to Care
"My approach to care with my patients and families is simple: to treat every child as if he or she were my own. My goal is to form a strong relationship with the patient and family to collectively decide the best path to improve the child's function, comfort and quality of life. "

Interests & Activities
My favorite activity is spending time with my wife and daughters. We enjoy spending time outside and at the lake with family and friends. We're also big Vikings fans. I played collegiate football and have always been interested in athletics.
