"I moved to Eugene for the schools, the people, the excellent medical community, and for the easy access to the outdoors. As I look back at these ‘requirements,’ I continue to marvel at and enjoy the opportunities we all have. To be able to contribute to the advancement of medical care in our community is a unique privilege. Our family has thrived, too. I’ve transitioned from being a runner to a cyclist and have become a connoisseur of Pinot Noir. It’s hard to imagine living anyplace else."
