I was inspired to become a physician by my father, who was also a physician and practiced until he was 87 years old. I deliver family-centered maternity care in a caring, empathetic environment. I've enjoyed caring for many longtime patients through their own life transitions. I strive to live my life and work in an exceptional manner assisting my many co-workers to achieve unparalleled excellence in the care of our Sharp patients.

Outside of work, I've most enjoyed raising my three kids and being actively involved in their lives, along with my wife of 28 years. I've coached Little League and soccer teams and I have been the Chief of the YMCA Indian Guides and Indian Princess programs. I enjoy following many sports, especially USC Trojans football, SDSU Aztecs basketball and San Diego Padres baseball.
