Welcome to my Web page. I’m happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice. I feel very fortunate to work at Kaiser Permanente because of the great colleagues and patients.
I was born in Northern California, but I spent most of my time growing up in the Midwest. I moved to the Los Angeles area, where I graduated from high school. I attended college in Idaho and, following graduation, moved back to Southern California. I became interested in practicing pathology during the years I was working in a pathology lab.
My practice is a dynamic one that allows me to work closely with clinicians and my departmental staff. My focus is on the patient, and after I analyze the results of the lab tests, I try to deliver information and diagnoses that are helpful both to the patient and the treating physician.
My family life is my major priority. I donate time to my children’s school board and class activities. I enjoy family outings to the beach, the desert, and USC football games. My wife, daughter, son, and I enjoy summer trips to the beach and Santa Barbara. I enjoy hiking and swimming, and I recently took up running.
