Personal History

I am originally from West Virginia (I've heard all the jokes). I have three sons and one daughter and a lot of personal OB experience, which I would not recommend to anyone. Like Dr. Garzon, I believe that we all comewith our own special gifts and abilities and we must work together tonourish and encourage the development of our clients and each other as professionals and human beings.
