His favorite quote is from Dr. Ben Carson, "You only have so much time in your life, and you only have so much energy. So you have to select carefully how you're going to spend that energy. If you waste it spinning your wheels on things that are not going to change, then it deprives you of an opportunity of utilizing it on things that are going to change".As a family nurse practitioner, Andrew enjoys each patient experience across the life spectrum from the very young to the very old. He is passionate about the patient experience, and that each person is satisfied with care they have received. When not working, you may see Andrew enjoying time riding his motorcycle with his wife Jennifer, or spending time riding bicycles and going for walks with his three boys, Noah, Micah, and Isaiah.
