Family and Friends
Although my typical work day in the past five or ten years has been very hectic, I try to find a balance between my work and my home life.
My family is very important and dear to me. My wife Anna and I have three children, Christopher, Kimberly, and Nathaniel, all of whom work and live in the San Francisco Bay Area since graduating from college.
In addition, over the past 20 years, I have been involved in various school, church, and community volunteer activities including a school foundation board, food kitchens, Habitat for Humanity and Gulf Coast volunteering and counseling and tutoring activities.
Hobbies and Interests
I have many interests outside of medicine including home remodeling as well as various aspects of residential construction, woodworking and furniture making, gardening, auto mechanics, hiking, skiing, kayaking and biking.
