The west side of Michigan is the best side of Michigan. I enjoy the busy practice environment of the hospital system, working as the ultrasound director with our residents and living next to Lake Michigan with my family.

I've also performed research in bedside ultrasound, with prior projects regarding ultrasound guided central line placement, developing a bedside ultrasound curriculum for medical school, advanced cardiac measurements in the ED, and working with Special Operations Combat Medics with training of bedside ultrasound prior to military deployment.

Mercy Health Muskegon
When I interviewed in Muskegon in 1996, I was impressed with the independent ED group and the philosophy of the director. He told me our main goal is not to become rich emergency physicians. We want to be old emergency physicians known for treating each patient like they are our grandmother. In other words, we want a reasonable lifestyle, work/life balance, and the ability to work as long as want without being burned out. We want to treat people with dignity and respect. That philosophy prevails today.
I enjoy medical missions, traveling and boating.

West Michigan is an absolutely beautiful place to live, offering the best of all 4 seasons. The patient population is very diverse. The hospital supports many subspecialists and continues to grow.
I enjoy fishing and working on cars. I play basketball while I still can. Mostly, I enjoy watching my daughters in whatever endeavor they choose to take on!
Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine
I have ongoing studies involving ACS, procedural sedation and medical education. But honestly, I am most passionate about bedside/clinical teaching, especially discussion of the decision-making process and looking for clinical and non-clinical cues to help diagnose or rule out the emergency.
