Brief Intro

I feel fortunate to have been introduced to the Pacific Northwest during my military career and I am looking forward to settling in to the Puyallup community. My practice thus far has allowed me to develop advanced arthroscopic techniques in the shoulder and knee, as well as an expertise in the management of complex fractures and extremity injuries. I married my wife Dawn in 2006 and we have three beautiful daughters: Ava was born a bit too early (26 weeks!) in October 2006, Alexis in December 2007, and Olivia in June 2009. As you might imagine they keep us on our toes! With a three month NICU stay under our belts, my wife and I support the March of Dimes for the great work they do, I enjoy golf, and cherish time with my family. I am looking forward to continuing the great tradition of providing excellent orthopedic care at Rainier Orthopedic Institute.
