I have always known that I would become a physician. I have viewed it as one of my callings in life and have pursued it with the same vigor that I have my other callings in life, such as being a good father and husband.
I am happily married with five children, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing games, and working around the house together. I try to make it to my children's school activities and appropriately balance all of the important components of life. I exercise regularly and I try to take good care of my body in order to be able to best serve my patients and the others in my life. I have ran the Christie Clinic Marathon twice and the Half-Marathon twice. I am an Eagle Scout and I continue to support the Boy Scouts as a merit badge counselor and I mentor young men as they work towards achieving the rank of Eagle as well. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and actively participates in church related functions regularly.

At Christie Clinic one of our mottos is 'I Listen. I Care.' I take this to heart, and intentionally take time to listen to my patients, answer their questions, and demonstrate that I really do care. I believe that this is of extremely high value in providing the best care for my patients.
