Non-medical interests: Woodworking, golf, soccer, skiing, hiking with our dog Tommy, watching Patriots/Purdue football
Career goals: The core of my career goals is continuing to develop into a strong clinician and clinical educator. I see myself remaining within academic medicine, as working with residents and fellows will allow me to grow as an educator and stay on top of pertinent medical advances as our field continues to evolve. My clinical interests include interventional pulmonology, cardiac intensive care and ECMO.
Why I chose Greenville: Deciding on Prisma Health and Greenville wasn't a difficult choice for my wife and me. We had the pleasure of living in Greenville for three years during medical school and we love everything that this growing city has to offer. During the interview process it was clear that Prisma Health offered many of the attributes I was looking for as I continue my training -- a small program size in a large hospital system, strong emphasis on clinical training and enthusiastic attending physicians who focus on teaching. I'm excited about the opportunity to help mold a newer program into one that will attract great talent, and produce skilled pulmonary/critical care physicians.

Why I chose Greenville: When interviewing for fellowship, I knew I wanted to train in a place with academic resources and opportunity but a community feel and that's Prisma in a nutshell. The faculty and staff really just can't be beat. As a resident here, I learned we also have an incredibly diverse patient population which is important to me. Training aside, I fell in love with the city of Greenville when I interviewed for residency several years ago and my time here has only reinforced that feeling. Greenville is home for my small family now.
