The patients you serve are diverse and there are a myriad of opportunities to support vulnerable populations. It has been wonderful to be surrounded by such a passionate, kind, generous and energetic team who all have patient care at the core of their mission.

Outside Interests: Currently, I love to spend time with my wife and twin boys. My favorite hobby is fly fishing for wild trout in the most secluded streams I can access. The satisfaction of fishing a beautiful pool that few humans have ever visited is hard to rival. I play basketball once weekly when global pandemics allow. It’s my favorite form of exercise and an excellent outlet for my competitive nature. I also love cooking and eating pasta. Of all my hobbies, eating pasta is probably the one I’m best at.
