Life in Stowe
After five years in Salt Lake City, my wife Lexie and I are thrilled to have brought our family home to Vermont. I spent nearly 15 years at the University of Vermont, from premed studies through research, medical school, and residency, so returning here truly feels like coming home.
We now live in Stowe with our two young daughters and our golden retriever, Auggie. As a family, we love being outdoors: skiing, biking, hiking, and fishing, with tennis and golf mixed in whenever we can. Being part of this community, and not just practicing in it, is a big part of why I chose to care for patients here.
