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.

My favorite activity is spending time with my family. 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.
