"It is rewarding to participate in the partnership of raising a child, giving guidance in preventive care, helping parents gain confidence in the care of their child and promoting healthy choices."

"I am a native Nebraskan and am so happy to be living in San Diego! I have a personal interest in childhood obesity and nutrition, and hope to help my patients start healthy habits that will last a lifetime. My hobbies include reading, hiking, watching college football, and going to the beach with my family."

"I truly love being a pediatrician. The most important thing in my life is the health of my two children and I cannot think of anything more satisfying than working daily to help to preserve the health of children of all ages in my community. I find it especially gratifying caring for children in the area that I grew up in, San Diego's East County. For undergraduate studies, I attended the University of California, Berkeley. The rest of my training was local at UCSD Medical School with my pediatric residency at Rady Children's Hospital. I strive to provide high quality care and exceptional service to all of my patients and families. In my spare time, you'll find me with my wife and two sons, traveling or enjoying all that San Diego has to offer."
