As a boy in Preston, Idaho, I watched my father, a family medicine doctor, serve entire families in our tight-knit community. I was inspired by the positive impact my father had on others and I knew I wanted do the same. I earned a degree in Physiology and Developmental Biology at BYU and graduated from medical school at The Ohio State University. I did my residency at Riverside Methodist in Columbus, Ohio and then eagerly returned to the Mountain West. I love serving families. I recently spent a summer providing medical service in Ghana, and another summer in Malawi researching mother-to-child HIV transmission. I enjoy being a family medicine doctor in Spanish Fork.
