"I trace my successful work in health care planning and design to my personal experiences with the health care system, and those of family and friends. And I connect it to the talented people with whom I work. Our practice has given me opportunities to help communities across the region provide improved services. My hometown, Wheaton, Minnesota, is one such community. As a 30-year member of Ducks Unlimited, I enjoy fall, my favorite time of year here, watching the annual great migration."
