Born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas, I received my undergraduate degree from Southwest Baptist University, did graduate studies in Microbiology at Missouri State University, and earned my medical degree from A.T. Still University. I completed a year of general internship at Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital, a year of Internal Medicine residency at Akron General Hospital, and then a residency in Obstetrics / Gynecology at Marshall University.
After more than four years of private practice in OB/GYN in Crossville, Tennessee, our family relocated to Joplin in 2001 in order to concentrate practice in GYN. With the exception of spending 1-½ years practicing medicine in Southeast Asia at medical mission clinics and hospitals, I've devoted my practice to caring for women’s health here in the 4-state area. I'm also a fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
I've been married to my college sweetheart, Cheri, since 1988. We have seven children, two daughters-in-law, and four adorable grandchildren (and counting).
