Personal Background

Born and raised in Michigan where, between all the school sports, I grew up skiing in the winter and sailing in the summer.

Interests include mountain biking, hiking (with the dog of course), alpine skiing, sailing, traveling to new places, good beer, and good wine.

Married to Magdalena, whom I met while skiing in Vermont.

Post Graduate Education:

The continuing education requirement for licensure is 15 hours annually. I receive in excess of 50 hours of continuing education each year. I also require my staff to stay just as current with their training.

LVI (Las Vegas Institute) trained; I¹ve completed several courses at this now famous post-graduate facility

All the courses may vary from lectures to hands on patient treatment courses to one-on-one "study clubs" involving area specialists.
