Background

Dr. Olson is native to the Pacific Northwest, having been born and raised outside of Marysville, Washington. He was the fifth of six children born to committed Christian parents who raised him to love God, work hard, enjoy life, and be real with people. Those early life lessons form the core of his practice today. Though his parents have passed, he enjoys close relationships with all his siblings.
Dr. Olson pursues many hobbies including hunting, fishing, hiking, home remodeling, and fire-wising 24 acres in Eastern Washington. He was landlord of four duplex units for 10 years and has dabbled in real estate and land development. He has always bought “fixer uppers”, and over the years has become somewhat of a jack of all trades.
Dr. Olson is known for his buoyant personality, and he enjoys a healthy family/work/life balance. His attitude and honesty serve as a role model for those who know him.

Family

Dr. Olson has been happily married to his wife, Khyra, since 1982. They have two adult children and enjoy getting together often for cooking, eating, lively discussion, and playing games. He also enjoys traveling with his wife and daughter.
