Biography

I initially studied mechanical engineering in undergraduate and graduate school before entering medical school. I have been in general orthopedic practice since 1997 following completion of orthopedic residency. The first half of my medical career was in Missouri and the second half in Gig Harbor and Tacoma. My practice has included all aspects of orthopedic surgery with an emphasis on hand and trauma surgery. I look forward to provide orthopedic care to Forks and surrounding community.
