I am a recent graduate of Touro University’s Master of Physician Assistant studies program and have begun my career in family practice at Saltzer’s clinic in Meridian. I am very excited to start my career and work with the providers at Saltzer. Some of you may have seen me around Saltzer last year, as I did many of my rotations with Saltzer doctors.

So a little about me. I am married and have a beautiful 1yr old daughter who keeps me and my wife entertained and on our toes. I enjoy spending time with my family camping, riding horses, fishing, snowmobiling, boating, and just about everything else you can think of outdoors. I am a graduate of Boise State and love to go to football games and cheer for the blue and orange!

I hope this gives everyone an opportunity to get to know a little about me. I look forward to meeting and getting to know you and hope to see you as a patient.
