  Affinity health system

  Aug 1986 - Aug 2000

  Family physician

  Joined in 1986 as the third family physician when the group was Nicolet Clinic, a small 35 doctor multi-specialty practice. In 1989 Nicolet merged with Medical Arts Clinic of Appleton to form LaSalle Clinic. Eventually the group joined forces with two hospitals and an HMO and grew to have over 180 physicians before I left in 2000. I spent two years working 30 miles away due to a non-compete clause in my contract. In July 2002 I started a small private family practice with a colleague.
