PERSONAL
I have been married to a wonderful and supportive wife since 1969, after I began chiropractic college. We have three great and accomplished children and their spouses and five terrific grandchildren. I enjoy travel, the outdoors, road trips, hiking, hunting, fishing, automobiles and learning more. I most like to solve problems and doing that with patients has been my greatest joy and continual reward. I thank you all who have given me that tremendous privilege.
