Philosophy 

I bring the best care to my patients by active participation in clinical trials research.

Personal

I like to relax by stopping hockey pucks – I’m an ice hockey goalie.

Vikings football and Wild hockey have long claimed me as a fan.

Golf is another sport I enjoy – I just wish I was a better shot maker.

As a proud Irishman, I always celebrate St Patrick’s Day with a vacation.
