Family Notes
As the son of a family practitioner who delivered 3,000 babies, it seemed only natural that I chose a career in medicine. In addition to Gastroenterology, I have become interested in the development of programs to promote prevention, better nutrition, and lifestyle change at the Institute for Healthy Living in Longview. I also enjoy playing tennis, working outdoors, travel, and spending time with my two children.
