The reason I became an optometrist is: I have always been drawn to putting others' needs before my own...it is both a blessing and a curse!

(25 years if you count from working in the offices before, I became a doc!) My favorite part of helping my patients is: There are not many things much more rewarding than giving the gift of sight. To know that a patient's life has been improved by improving their vision is a wonderful thing, and I love being a part of that!

Our children are heavily involved in musical theatre, and when we are able, we love spending time at the beach riding the waves and watching the beautiful sunsets.
