• I enjoy making people better. My focus is on making each and every patient as well as they can be. I am very fortunate to practice in a specialty that returns patients to their previous level of activity, reduces pain and restores athletic function. Many patients have told me that their procedure has been truly ‘life-changing’.

• I grew up in southwestern Wisconsin on a dairy farm where hard work was firmly ingrained. I have always been involved in multiple sports and continue to enjoy snowboarding, waterskiing and have recently begun to kiteboard. Many of my patients know that I also enjoy fishing, and you may find me in a local stream or river once in a while. I have enjoyed practicing orthopaedics in our community for many years and look forward to many more.
