Personal Bio
I am a Cornhusker from Nebraska and love Rhinos. I’ve lived in Indiana since medical school. After training, I was on staff at Riley Hospital for five years before going on staff at St . Vincent Hospital. I continue to run their Inpatient unit for children and adolescents and staff their intensive-level patients. I also teach residents in Family Practice, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, and OB, and do consultations at the St. Vincent primary care center. My wife Maria is also a physician and runs the Butler University Health Center.
