Personal
I am a proud lifelong resident of Minnesota. My wife and I have been married for many years and have two children and two granddaughters.
My hobbies revolve around golf and exercise. I enjoy reading fiction, as well as books on the Civil War and American History.
I come from a medical family background, in that my father and his brother were physicians. My brother and I are carrying on that legacy, and my son is following in my footsteps.
My life’s work is truly a gift and privilege.
