When I'm not practicing medicine, I enjoy being with family and friends. I love to spend time out doors, soccer, playing the piano, cooking , and writing and hosting Murder mystery dinner parties.  I also enjoy writing short stories and listening to live music. when I have the time and I offer free medical services down at the community center every weekend. I've recently taken up meditation, which has improved my focus at work and my personal relationships.
