Hi there! I am glad you’re here! It brings me great joy to see lives changed for the better and to be a part of that process. If you feel stuck or not where you want to be, I would be honored to be your trusted Primary Care provider and advisor.

   A Bit About Me:

I was born and raised in Seattle, WA, where I still reside and practice. I love hiking and backpacking, skiing/snowboarding, as well as woodworking and home improvement (with its never-ending to-do list!). I met my wife, Katie, on a retreat at Mt. Baker in 2022, and we married May 2024. She is my better-half, business partner, and manager of Mind and Matter Health.

   My Credentials:

I earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Biochemistry at the University of Washington followed by a Master’s of Nursing Science (MSN) at Seattle University. I have 10+ years of experience in Healthcare, 6+ in practice as an ARNP, and 33+ years of experience in the school of life. In this time, a few things became apparent: 

1. The US Healthcare system is broken and serves the interests of insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies, NOT the patients. 
2. Men in our society are struggling to thrive in so many different ways, and there are many traps and pitfalls we can fall into.
3. I can do better to serve my patients as an independent practitioner, without being bound or beholden to corporate stakeholder interests.

   My Philosophy:

I’ve always been a bit “retro” in my approach to life; Katie says I am an old man in a young man’s body. I believe in the importance of modern medicine and empirical science, without forgetting the age-old wisdom and fundamentals of healthy living. I strive for a balanced approach to health.

   Additionally:

• I prioritize sustainable, long term health over quick “fixes.”
• I believe our healthcare system does not do enough to address root causes of illness, and is too heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical industry.
• I believe true health begins with real, healthy food. 
• I believe that the health of the mind and body are interconnected, and attention should be paid to both. Hence the name of this practice.
