Over 748 million people in the world live without access to clean water. Let's leave a legacy that changes that!

Retiring?!? Yes! Well, not exactly. I'll be working full-time at Fox Island Alliance Church, helping others connect to God and to each other in meaningful ways just like I've had the chance to do.

I've practiced pediatrics for 21 years, and been a part of this great community since 1999. What a privilege it's been to know so many stories, to be a part of so many lives! I am truly blessed by my patients and colleagues.

Will you help me bless others as I take this step of faith?

When I went to the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1990, and then Uganda in 2013, I saw firsthand the effects that a simple lack of clean water have on real people like you and me. Girls can't go to school because they are fetching water from distant contaminated sources. Beautiful children have telltale signs of malnutrition and bloated bellies because of parasites. Mothers are trapped without an escape from poverty.

Clean water changes absolutely everything. When a community gets access to clean water, health improves, access to food is easier, economies grow, and kids attend school. I've seen it happen!

Gig Harbor Gives has the audacious goal of raising $1 million so that communities our size, about 30,000 people, will have clean, fresh, sparkling water!

Will you help me commemorate my years in health care by helping bring health to others?
100% of what donate goes directly to the field. charity: water will keep track of where it goes. Then, they’ll report back to you with info about the actual people your money helps.

Let's raise enough to sponsor a well!
