When he's not treating patients, Dr. Crump enjoys running and working out on the ergometer (rowing machine). Most of all, he enjoys spending time with his kids, Athey and Maggie, and his wife, Liz. Dr. Crump follows his children's sports and activities and his wife's therapeutic equestrian program, and he feels the time with them is the most valuable thing he has.
