I was born in Mexico City, Mexico. My father is a physician specializing in internal medicine. My mother was raised in Minnesota. I attended the American School in Mexico City and was raised in a bilingual environment. I am the oldest of five children.

I attended Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania starting in 1972 and graduated with Distinction with a BA and a major in Psychology. From 1976 until 1979 I attended Baylor College of Medicine in Houston Texas where I also received high marks. After earning my MD degree I completed a three-year residency in Family Medicine at San Pedro Peninsula Hospital in San Pedro, California in 1983.

From 1983 until 1990 I worked in private practice in Fort Collins, Colorado with my former wife, who is also a family physician and who also graduated from Baylor and San Pedro Peninsula hospital. We divorced in 1990 and I continued to practice alone until September 1996. In 1996 I merged my practice with Associates in Family Medicine.
I resigned from Associates in Family Medicine on December 2001.

In April 2002 I opened my new office for the practice of Family Medicine. This practice is reminiscent of my original clinic prior to joining Associates in Family Medicine as it is small, and very personal. I think of this new office as the antithesis to Corporate Medicine. For those of you who have been my patients for many years and have followed me from a small practice to a large multi-office group, and now back to the beginning, I thank you for your loyalty and support.
