Career Story:
After finishing residency, I moved to Puyallup WA to be back home near my family. I began working as an employed physician in a clinic run by the local community hospital (Good Samaritan Hospital). After 2 years I went out on my own in private practice and have been a solo family doc since. It was a scary move but it was one of the best things I've done.
Notable Personal Accomplishments:
I've been pretty successful at taking time off of work to spend time with my family and travel (approx 6-8 weeks a year)
Notable Professional Accomplishments:
Sad to say none other than surviving as a solo family doctor.
Favorite Recreational Activity:
Windsurfing
Favorite Memory from Residency:
The road trips to Mexico and the Grand Canyon with my residency class.
Personal Story:
Married (to Kim) and we have 3 children. We just finished adopting a 12 y/o boy from Ethiopia
