Career Path

I grew up in Minnesota, and after graduating college, I was recruited by Conoco Oil in Houston, where I worked in the chemical division for several years. At 29, I decided to go to medical school, and my wife, Sue, was going to medical school, too. After a few moves, we came to St. Louis to be near family, and we both worked at St. John’s Mercy. After several years working as an internist, I decided to open The Lifestyle Center.

Biggest Mentor

A boss that I had in Houston inspired me to always stay focused and work hard.

Biggest Impact

If you read the reviews from our clients at The Lifestyle Center, they usually say how dedicated we are to providing services that are in the best interest of our patients. We always try to help people get to where they want to be, whether that is physically, mentally or sexually.

Future Goals

My goal is to diversify the balance of services at the center. There’s been a real move to non-invasive body sculpting and the skin and beauty side of things, particularly for young people, who are focusing on maintaining a beautiful appearance, or in many cases, turning back the hands of time.

Favorite Pastime

Taking long walks every morning. I usually walk 6 miles a day. It gives me time to think, and I make plans for the day and for the future.

Memorable Life Moment

I’m not one to look to the past. I like to live in the moment. But certainly, our wedding and the birth of our three children were moments I will never forget. And graduating from medical school was an important day.
