Interests & Activities
I am married to a professional opera singer and have three energetic daughters who are growing up way too fast. As an avid hiker and lover of the mountains, I have summited all 58 of Colorado's 14ers. I am proud to be a Team Physician for the University of Northern Colorado's sports teams. My family truly enjoys travelling and experiencing the wonders of our beautiful world. I have rappelled down waterfalls in Greece, trekked the Inca trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, fought my way up Mt. Doom from Lord of the Rings (Tongariro Crossing) in New Zealand, been scuba diving for lobsters off the Florida coast and tunneled deep into the glaciers of Iceland. I am always on the lookout for another adventure.
