About
Education
- Master of Physician Assistant Studies, Shenandoah University, Winchester, VA
- Master of Physiology, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC
I chose medicine as my second career after years of working in research and teaching. I like solving puzzles and problems – as well as the opportunity to help people over the long term – so it was a natural progression.
My wide range of clinical experience and training includes primary care; general surgery; pediatrics; interventional radiology; OB/GYN; and emergency medicine.
In addition, I served as an active duty physician assistant in the U.S. Air Force and deployed to Africa, where I served as the medical director of a small medical facility and responded to mass casualty events and coordinated emergency medical evacuations.
Ultimately, I chose family practice because it allows me to stay involved and invested in the health and well-being of my patients. I enjoy listening and getting to know people so we can work together as partners. I don’t want to tell them what to do; I want to help them reach their goals.
When I’m not treating patients (aged 18 and up) I enjoy hiking and camping with my wife, spending time with my family, and working out.
