Hometown: Aberdeen, SD
Most people don't know: I played the piano and trumpet in high school and sang in college choir. I love going to hear live music.
It I wasn't a doctor, I would be: a travel writer. I love visiting new places and was an English major in college.
Something I have learned from my patients: every patient has something to teach me!
One of the challenges of this career I enjoy is: finding the best way to teach my patients about their health. Everyone has their own style of learning and communicating.
My personal health challenge is: finding ways to get more activity into my daily life. I skip the elevator and take the stairs!
The best thing health advice is: regular exercise is very important for health and stress reduction. Pick an exercise you enjoy and can share with a friend. I love to bike and cross country ski.
