I was born in Iowa, and then moved to Missouri in 1982, and have been here since.  I graduated from Missouri State University, and went to Medical School at the University of Missouri in Columbia and did my residency in Family Medicine at Cox Medical Centers in Springfield.  I previously practiced Bolivar and Boonville, Missouri before joining Burrell to practice Family and  Addiction Medicine in March of 2020 where I am the medical director of the Fordland Clinic (a Burrell affiliate) and the Behavioral Crisis Center at Burrell. 

I am married with six children, and three grandchildren.  My wife and I enjoy any outside activity, and travel. 

I have a Bachelor’s degree from Southwest Baptist University, a Master’s degree from Missouri State University and my Medical Doctorate from the University of Missouri in Columbia.  I am board certified in Family Medicine, and will sit for addiction boards this fall.
