About me
I am an acute care nurse practitioner who specializes in thoracic surgery, or chest surgery. I treat patients with conditions that involve the chest wall, esophagus, lungs and pleural space.
I was born in Manly, Iowa, where I spent much of my childhood.
My mom, a registered nurse, has played an important role in my life. I chose a career in nursing largely due to her influence.
I make an effort with each patient and family to meet them where they are, and work together to optimize care.
Outside of work, I enjoy being with my wife, dogs and our extended family. I enjoy taking part in off-road triathlons, cyclocross racing, gravel cycling, Nordic skiing, trail building and trail maintenance.

Insurance
Before scheduling an appointment
- Check your network. If you have health insurance, call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
- Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.
If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
