Candidate Statement: The American College of Physicians has guided my professional development through its unique blend of education, advocacy, and community - from teaching at Scientific Meetings to advocating on Capitol Hill and fostering cross-chapter collaboration as Chair of the Council of Early Career Physicians. I am originally from Brainerd, MN, and am a proud graduate of the University of Minnesota Medical School. I’ve spent my career in the inpatient and outpatient settings, with a strong commitment to teaching and mentorship. I thrive on connecting people - linking students with mentors, residents with career pathways, colleagues with advocacy opportunities, and patients with care solutions. I have a reputation for getting things done, and collaborating across teams to drive meaningful change. Joining the Board of Governors would allow me to continue to serve the Internal Medicine physician community and to champion Minnesota’s legacy of medical excellence on both a state and national stage.

Candidate Statement: I am honored to be a candidate for MN-ACP Governor. If elected, I would listen to the chapter and help us meet the challenges that lie ahead for our profession and our patients. With twenty years of membership in MN-ACP, I believe our community is our greatest strength. You may know me from my lectures, but it’s my work with bipartisan legislators and my relationships in government that will help me advocate effectively for our chapter. I have contributed to national pain and addiction guidance by applying evidence-based medicine and a patient-centered focus to challenging clinical topics. My outpatient addiction practice spans both rural and urban sites, and I’m a hospitalist and an associate program director, grounding me in internal medicine. Outside of work I enjoy cooking, music and traveling with my partner Patrick. As Governor I would draw on all these experiences to seek consensus-driven action for our chapter.
