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 5 years before going on staff at St . Vincent Hospital where I continue to work running their Inpatient unit for child and adolescents and staffing 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.
