Philosophy

I believe in evidence-based medicine, but am flexible since every patient’s situation is unique. I believe that patients and their families should play a major decision-making role in cancer treatment.

Personal

I am the father of three beautiful children and husband to another physician. I enjoy photography, woodworking, gardening, biking, golf and skiing (snow and water). I am a native Minnesotan but love to travel.
