Medical Focus

As a board-certified registered respiratory therapist, I provide diagnostic stress testing services for those with heart problems, pulmonary function tests for patients with breathing issues, and ventilator support for patients with impaired breathing.

I’m also a registered polysomnography technologist, which enables me to administer sleep studies for patients who have trouble getting good sleep.

Education & Credentials

  • Bachelor of Science, Exercise Physiology: The College of St. Scholastica, Duluth, MN
  • Associate Degree, Respiratory Care: Mayo School of Health Sciences, Rochester, MN
  • Board-Certified: National Board for Respiratory Care

My Passion

I enjoy being able to provide Respiratory Therapy to patients with breathing issues, which can span from just annoying to very frightening. Common breathing problems that we see regularly include chronic sinusitis, allergies, and asthma. Some patients have serious pulmonary issues, such as lung cancer, pneumonia, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

After Hours

I live in Belle Plaine and am a single dad to two amazing kids. My daughter loves to dance and my son is a sports enthusiast. When I’m not at work or playing with my kids, you can find me working out in the gym or on a lake fishing. Being on the water is so relaxing and it’s even better when the fish are biting.
