My wife Melissa and I both grew up in the greater Milwaukee area and have raised our two children in Cedarburg. I became a pediatrician because I realized health decisions and positive choices in the earliest stages of life can reap benefits for decades to come; essentially preventing or minimizing the effects of disease rather than just responding to the damage after it occurs. I also imagined that the natural energy and playfulness of children would make for an enviable work environment …..and I was right!
