OUR TEAM

He and Nancy met in the first year of Medical School where they were classmates. They completed their Family Practice residencies in St. Petersburg, Florida before returning to Washington in 1980 to begin their first practice together in Aberdeen. In 1986, he and Nancy departed on an 8 year world voyage aboard their own 41ft. ketch, Harmony. They sailed to the far eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea and returned via the Caribbean and Panama Canal.
