“Born in Red Oak, Iowa, I moved with my family to Fremont, Nebraska while I was still young. I attended Grinnell College in Iowa and finished medical school at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 1969. I completed Internal Medicine and Pediatric residencies in New York City (Harlem Hospital), Minneapolis (Univ. of Minnesota), and Omaha (Univ. of Nebraska Medical Center). I also served as an army physician in Washington, D.C. and San Antonio, Texas.
I am a widower with two children.
