As the son of a mechanic, I've always been drawn to restoring structure and function. This has translated to my affinity for fracture care, as I can restore the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. Every fracture has a different pattern and personality. The surgical approaches, reduction techniques and fixation methods are all individualized in each case. Sustaining a traumatic injury or fracture could truly be the most difficult experience that a patient has ever had, and this gives me the opportunity to have the most influence on my patients. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family. Having grown up locally in a rural community, I also enjoy outside activities such as hunting and fishing.
