I feel very fortunate to have practiced family medicine in the Comox Valley for 24 years. Along with my wife Jacquie, a teacher, we have raised 3 children. I have a special interest in music and play jazz guitar, performing in various settings. I enjoy exploring Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, volunteering at a summer camp, gardening, reading and discussing Kierkegaard

Originally from Ucluelet, BC. I enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding, scuba diving, hiking, and anything by or on the ocean. I have been 2 years with the Clinic and joined the group after my residency training there and find our Comox Medical Clinic family to be a fantastic group of very supportive and friendly physicians and staff.

Born and raised in the Comox Valley, I can’t think of a better place to have returned to practice medicine and raise a family. I love the ability to enjoy life and outdoor recreation on a regular basis whether it is world class mountain biking trails or salmon fishing after finishing up a day in the office. Going on 7 years with the Comox Medical Clinic, I also can’t think of a better group of colleagues who truly support and look out for each other.

Born in Toronto & raised in Saskatchewan, I made my way out west to the Comox Valley in 2001. Immediately it was clear that this was a gem of a place to live. With the mild weather, lush forests, proximity to the ocean & mountains, there is a lot to do & explore; but what I love most is the friendly community that has now been my home for over 20 years. My wife & I have raised 4 kids here, and we have been involved in a multitude of activities including camping, snowboarding, sailing, dance & theatre. Most days though, I enjoy spending time in our garden, strolling through a forested trail, or taking a quick trip down to Goose Spit Park to paddle board in Comox Bay

In 2002 I moved with my family to the valley to to join my long time friend Doug Anderson at the Comox Medical Clinic. I have always been amazed and drawn to the beauty of this place and the opportunities for my wife and kids and I to pursue the ever changing and developing interests we all shared. Now 20 years on, many of those initial interests have changed and morphed into other new pursuits but our connection here will always be rooted in the friendships and sense of belonging that we have - whether here at the clinic or the endlessly intersecting aspects of the community life we enjoy.

I have always enjoyed the breadth of family medicine and cherish the longitudinal relationship I have with my patients. My other interest is oncology and work as GPO at the Comox Valley Hosptial which provides me with a great work balance. I feel grateful to work with such an amazing group of witty colleagues who always support each other.

It has been my privilege to practice Family Medicine at Comox Medical Clinic since 1996. I learned from an early mentor, doctor means “teacher”, and over the years I have had the opportunity to play a role in the training of many students and residents who had worked with patients in my practice. I enjoy knowing patients and help them understand their story and set them back on track to their life before illness when possible, and treat symptoms as needed.
Away from work I enjoy time with my family on the water, in the alpine, and the wonderful Comox Valley. In recent years I have especially enjoyed fishing with my son, gardening with my wife, and tennis with friends. I cannot imagine a better place to live.
