Hometown: Fargo, ND
My favorite part of being a doctor is: Seeing entire families and couples! I love building close and long relationships with my patients. The huge breadth of family medicine ensures that I'll never have a boring day. Being a family doctor is truly the best job I could ask for.
I am passionate about: the Norwegian language and culture. Also, I love tandem biking with my wife on our "bicycle built for two."
A fun fact about me is: Growing up, I was active in photography to the point of developing and printing color photos in a darkroom in my basement.
My personal health challenge is: to stand more than sit. We now know that even physically active people are less healthy if they sit too much, so I am pursuing getting a stand-up desk in my office.
I am most proud of: my family.
