I enjoy working in primary care allows me to build lasting relationships with patients. I am intrigued by home-based care and rural medicine are areas I’m especially passionate about and hope to expand upon in my career. Adolescent and pediatric care keep me energized and engaged and I believe treating chronic conditions holistically is a core focus of mine, while supporting mental and behavioral health is both challenging and rewarding. Unwinding with my wife and kids is my favorite way to spend free time. Performance motorsports like sprint car racing and motorcycle riding are longtime hobbies. I like to discover new uses for 3D printing keeps my hands and mind busy. I love to organize and play historic tabletop war games which connect me to strategy and history, while combining medicine with personal passions keeps me grounded and balanced.
