About Me

I grew up in Stevens Point, WI and attended Pacelli High School. I took great pride playing for their football team and competing in the state golf championship.
My interest in orthopaedic surgery began early in my childhood. My father and grandfather both practiced orthopaedic surgery in Stevens Point and through their patients (many of my neighbors and friends) I saw the significant impact their work had on being able to decrease pain, and return people to their goals and livelihoods.
In my personal life, I enjoy traveling and seeing new perspectives. I've been privileged to attend medical trips to Peru and Nicaragua, as well as study in Guatemala for 5 months while living with a host family. That being said, I love living in Wisconsin and very much enjoy its seasons, activities, and sports. Go Pack Go!
