I grew up in Spokane. After graduating from Pacific University near Portland, Oregon in the late 1990s, I moved to south Puget Sound. My wife and I met at Pacific University, and married soon after graduation. We are blessed with two wonderful teenage sons, a dog, and a cat. I enjoy helping people, and am fascinated by the process of vision. Eye care is very rewarding for me. I am operations chief for the Tahoma Region and South Service Area for Optometry.
