I focus on providing quality and professional orthopedic, sports medicine, and preventative health care services to all of my patients. Working with our team of orthopedic surgeons, I take medical histories, examine patients, order and interpret laboratory tests and X-rays, and diagnose patients both in the clinical and hospital setting. I also treat injuries and assist in orthopedic surgeries.As a Physician Assistant I actively help fulfill Heartland Orthopedic Specialists’ goal, which is to return our patients to an active lifestyle in the shortest time possible.I am originally from Milroy, Minnesota, but moved to the Alexandria area with my family in 2004. Along with being a Physician Assistant, I am a board-certified athletic trainer with a special interest in sports medicine. In my spare time I enjoy hunting, fishing, and golfing with friends and family.
