Why I am passionate about GME leadership:

It is a tremendous privilege to serve in the many roles of a Program Director- clinician, teacher, and educational leader. I love mentoring residents and faculty as we work together to develop broadly skilled Family Physicians to serve local communities. I'm also passionate about expanding GME capacity through advising and coaching developing residency programs and program directors.

What I'm passionate about in my personal life:

I greatly value family time with my wife and our 4 sons and 2 dogs. I'm happiest when I am outdoors in nature. You will often find me hiking, trail running, and skiing in the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
