Professional Journey and Expertise

Graduating from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine in 2012 and completing my internal medicine residency at Madigan Army Medical Center in 2015, my academic and professional journey has been focused on bringing compassionate and innovative care to my patients. As a primary author of several peer-reviewed articles, I'm deeply invested in contributing to the medical community's knowledge.

Personal Interests and Community Involvement

Beyond medicine, my life is enriched by a variety of passions. I am an avid fan of Batman, Kobe Bryant, and Peanuts. My enthusiasm for sports and powerlifting reflects my dedication to discipline and strength. A lover of motorcycles, vintage trucks, and classic cars, I appreciate the beauty of craftsmanship and history. As the official Dive Doctor for Salem Scuba, I combine my medical expertise with a love for underwater exploration.

Family life plays a crucial role for me, with my dogs Skeeter and Bonnie bringing joy and companionship into my daily life.
