My wife, Corinne, and I both grew
up in Utah. We met and married
while attending Brigham Young
University. After we graduated
from BYU, we moved to eastern
Idaho where I attended Idaho
State University and completed
my doctorate in audiology. Corinne
worked as a pediatric ICU nurse
at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical
Center. We have one son who is
16 months old and keeps us on
our toes.

Growing up with a hearing loss,
I was able to see firsthand the
benefits of receiving hearing am-
plification. This, coupled with the
education I received at Idaho State
University and Brigham Young Uni-
versity, led me to develop a passion

Multiple reasons.... I love the
science of rheumatology. The
continued rapid progression of
new discoveries has created many
new possibilities for treatments. It
is beautiful to see patients regain
their quality of life. I appreciate the
opportunity to develop a relation-
ship with our patients because we
see them frequently.

My patients can expect to
review their hearing history and
the ways their hearing deficits
are impacting their lives. I will
perform a series of hearing tests
to find the cause and severity
of their hearing loss. With those
results, we will discuss the
options available for hearing
amplification that fit their needs
and lifestyle.

The community feel and op-

with my long-term goals as an

excited to raise our family in
this beautiful part of Idaho.
