Career Story: 

Moved to Caldwell, Idaho in 1976 after Ifinished residency. I belonged to a group practice for about 28 years in Caldwell and retired in 2004. During the last four years of practice I was medical director of our four clinics located in Caldwell and in neighboring Nampa. My practice was rural family practice with pediatrics, adult medicine, and obstetrics (until the early 90's), and inpatient hospital practice including upper endoscopy. I retired in 2006.I went back to school after retirement to take some education, math, and physics courses and then taught high school for a year. I taught geometry, calculus and physics. That was a learning experience! I now teach part time the courses of Human Anatomy and cadaver dissection and Business Math and had previously taught introductory astronomy at the four- year College of Idaho located in Caldwell
