About Me

Care Philosophy
  • I believe that health is more than freedom from illness. It is, rather, an integration of the mind, body and spirit so that all areas of the human person are in harmony. It is my privilege to be able to help parents raise their children in health—and it's a great joy to watch them grow up.

    On the personal side: My family and I enjoy spending time together. We tent camp and like to cook. I'm also an ordained deacon in the Catholic Church which gives me another venue in which to help people achieve total health.
