"I enjoy time with my family and am eager to get to know yours.  Practicing Family Medicine and delivering babies for the past 14 years gave me the chance to watch children grow and develop, along with their parents and grandparents.  What a privilege to be the doctor for an entire family!  Knowing the context of an individual's life helps me anticipate problems and create personal, practical solutions for my patients.  My mission is to provide quality, up to date, genuine, and personal care.  I am a father of four, awaiting two more through international adoption.  A graduate of Edina High School, St. Olaf College, and the University of MN Medical School, I have returned to work in the community where I live and play."
