Morehead Memorial Hospital

My passion for a career in medicine began with a shadowing experience with a physician in my hometown. I discovered that medicine satisfied my lifelong love of learning and allowed me to help others. My particular interests in medicine include women's health, tropical medicine, and immigrant and refugee health. Outside of medicine, I enjoy reading, running, and spending time with family.

I grew up in a small town with good people and a simple life. After becoming a doctor, I've traveled all over the United States to take care of people that need help the most. I love to educate and empower patients to live a healthy life. Whether I'm working in a hospital, urgent care, or clinic, I try my hardest to provide thorough and efficient healthcare. As a family physician, I really enjoy getting a chance to take care of all the different health problems that come in the door. Outside of work, I enjoy listening to music, watching movies, and spending time with friends and family.

Life is full of transitions, of challenges and victories, despair and joy. It is my privilege as a family physician to step alongside my patients as they journey through life, to provide care "from cradle to grave" and through all of the transitions in between. I take great joy in caring for patients across contexts, be it the clinic, the home, the emergency department, hospital, or nursing facility. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my wife and children, reading, playing music, and occasionally competing in triathlons or strongman competitions.
