Another winter pic of us skating on our pond out back! Fun for me to teach them having grown up skating as a kid. My dad used to build us an outdoor ice rink in our back yard!

Back at the rink for the Gahanna alumni hockey game and got to wear my Lions jersey again!

Turns out the muscle memory is still there. Great game and a lot of fun being back on the ice.

Proud to support the Gahanna Lions Ice Hockey team for the second year in a row. Giving back to our roots matters to us, and as a former player, I can personally attest to the positive impact this team and sport had on my high school years. Wishing the team a great season!

Optometry has given me so many meaningful experiences. It’s a career that lets you connect with your community and truly help people improve their quality of life. I couldn’t recommend it more to anyone who feels called to do this kind of work.

This clip is from a conversation I had with Justin Manning about building a practice that fits your life. You can hear the full podcast on Spotify on the Practice Advantage podcast:

Pink eye is a common eye infection that spreads easily, but it’s usually not serious.

Most of us know someone who’s had it, or maybe we’ve had it ourselves. The key is knowing what to do and how to treat it so it clears up quickly and safely.
