I was raised in Ashland Oregon. My wife, older son, and I graduated from Ashland High School. Our younger son currently attends Ashland Middle School. 

 

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner and a Clinical Medical Director for Providence Medical Group where I have had the privilege of working for the past eight years. I hold educational degrees from Southern Oregon University, Oregon Health & Science University, and George Washington University.

​

My family loves living here and has many ties to the community. I enjoy many of the activities Southern Oregon is known for including: camping, mountain biking, skiing, hiking and fishing. In addition, I appreciate our city’s cultural offerings, such as the Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF), Oregon Cabaret theater and the Ashland City Band. These experiences shape my values and my desire to contribute to the community that has given so much to my family and me.
