Personal Summary

I was born in Missoula and have lived here all but the fourteen years I was away from Montana for my education.  I practiced general pediatrics for sixteen years, then spent three years of training as a pediatric cardiology fellow, and practiced pediatric cardiology throughout Western and Central Montanaa for the next eighteen years;  During that time I was on the clinical faculty at three medical schools and spent a moderate amount of time teaching at those institutions.

I have been retired from clinical medicine for almost two years, and now I am thoroughly enjoying teaching in the Davidson Honors College.

I have been married for 43 years to Elaine and we have a daughter named Rose.  After an undergraduate degree in Literature, she is now finishing her doctoral thesis concerning pediatric cardiology and rural health care economics.
