About

Philosophy of care

My philosophy is treating everyone with respect and having an open dialogue as if I am working with my own family or loved ones.

Why I entered medicine

My interest in medicine started after a football injury. Working closely with medical staff throughout my recovery, I wanted to learn more about the medical field. After exploring various paths, I decided I could help the most in palliative care – especially by communicating not just with the patient but also their family about a terminal illness. I do my best to make a difficult part of life just a little easier.

Community involvement

For several years I have volunteered for and run fundraisers to increase awareness and research in the fight against colon cancer. I have also worked at food banks, driven patients to their appointments and coached Pop Warner football.

Personal interests

I enjoy football, basketball, fishing, grilling and time with friends and family.
