I grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. I am one of seven children and I attended Lincoln East High School. I moved to Omaha in 1996 to attend medical school. I am married with six children; three boys and three girls. My 5th child; a little girl, was born with a genetic disorder called Cornelia de Lange Syndrome. My life is busy with work, church, watching & attending Nebraska Football games, being a dad & husband, taking care of pets and volunteering with the Boy Scouts of America, where I am a Scoutmaster.
