ABOUT ME.

Integrating Expertise and Dedication

I am a dedicated family practice anesthetist in Peace River, Alberta, and Physician Lead for the Borealis Primary Care Network. I am driven by a passion for delivering accessible, high-quality healthcare to rural communities. My medical expertise encompasses anesthesia, family medicine, geriatrics, palliative care, and emergency medicine, which allows me to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care tailored to the unique needs of my patients.

In my commitment to shaping future healthcare professionals, I serve as a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Alberta as lead physician for the Intergrated Community Clerkship in Peace River and a mentor for the University of Calgary’s Family Practice Anesthesia program. These roles enable me to impart knowledge and skills to aspiring physicians, fostering curiosity and excellence in medical practice.

Beyond my clinical and educational responsibilities, I actively engage in community innovation that reflect my commitment to local development. As president of Peace Green Energy and the Peace River Energy Project (PREP Inc.), I contribute to advancing sustainable energy solutions in our region, including the construction of a 4.99-megawatt solar power plant aimed at increasing renewable energy production locally. My investments in local businesses, such as Northern Dough, a very successful bakery in Grimshaw, AB, demonstrate my dedication to supporting economic growth within local communities.

Currently, I am involved in the development of senior care homes in Peace River to address the increasing demand for quality senior living options in our community. This initiative aims to provide safe and supportive environments for our aging population.

Fueling My Purpose

Family and Fatherhood

At the core of my life is my unwavering dedication to my family. As a devoted father, I cherish the moments spend with my children, fostering a nurturing and supportive environment where they can grow, explore, and thrive. My commitment to family extends beyond mere presence it is an intentional effort to create meaningful experiences, instil values, and cultivate a deep sense of connection and belonging.

A Mind at Play

I am a lifelong learner, always seeking to expand my knowledge and challenge my thinking. Whether through books that offer new perspectives or engaging in strategic board games, I embrace opportunities for intellectual growth and problem-solving. Board games, in particular, serve as both a passion and a way to connect with friends and family, blending strategy, competition, and camaraderie. My love for reading fuels my curiosity, allowing me to explore new ideas, histories, and innovations that enrich both my personal and professional life.

Active Living and Culinary Creativity

As an advocate for an active and balanced lifestyle, I enjoy biking as a way to stay energized, connect with nature, and maintain overall well-being. My passion for cooking is another creative outlet whether experimenting with new recipes or preparing meals for loved ones, I find joy in the process of crafting flavorful and nourishing dishes. Through both movement and culinary expression, I embrace a holistic approach to well-being, valuing the harmony between physical health, creativity, and shared experiences.

I am committed to providing patient-centered care and mentoring the next generation of healthcare professionals through my collaborations with the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary. I hope to use entrepreneurship to improve the quality of life of people locally. 

My core values of compassion, integrity, excellence, innovation, and lifelong learning guide my work. I believe in delivering empathetic care that prioritizes patient dignity and respect while upholding the highest ethical standards in all aspects of my practice. Innovation drives me to seek new solutions that enhance healthcare access and outcomes, particularly for rural communities.
