I always enjoyed science class in middle and high school and was fascinated by the multitudes of complex processes that allow the human body to function. I also enjoy being of service to others - something that led me to help plan and lead a medical service trip to Ensenada, Mexico, when I was in college. That trip cemented my desire to become a physician. \n I think the importance of spending time talking with my patients and educating them on everything from their condition to my rationale for ordering certain tests or treatments cannot be overstated. \n Knowledge is power, and I want to empower my patients. Understanding the why is an important part of taking ownership of your own healthcare and creates trust between the patient and provider. \n I was born and raised in Southern California, which is where I met my wife, Sara, who is a North Carolina native. I have steadily made my way eastward and love calling Wilmington home. I enjoy listening to and playing music, taking my dog to the beach and spending time with my family and friends.

The job of a doctor has many parts. I get to perform procedures, provide medical treatment and work closely with patients to manage care plans. Some medical specialties are focused more on one of these areas than another. Since I enjoy all three, I'm lucky to have found cardiology. This field gives me a great balance between completing treatments and procedures, and getting to know those in my care. \n Electrophysiology has always been my favorite part of cardiology. I especially enjoy being able to explain arrhythmias to my patients so they can make more informed decisions about their care. I also use my skills to educate other providers. At the University of North Carolina, I was recognized by residents as an outstanding educator. It makes me proud to know their patients will also benefit from what I am able to teach. \n When talking about my patients, I often say, I work for them. I am not just a caregiver; I want to be a partner. That means big things, like listening to each patient and addressing their concerns, and smaller things, like respecting their time by not keeping them waiting. When we work together, we accomplish better outcomes. \n I am always looking for ways to do the most good. Once, I was able to help organize a mission trip to Bolivia where I worked alongside other providers to implant pacemakers in patients who otherwise would not have had access to that medical care. This greatly improved their quality of life, and I am fortunate to have been part of that mission. \n My wife and I moved from Pensacola, Florida, to Wilmington so we could raise our family here. I have loved this area since spending time training at the University of North Carolina, and feel lucky to be back in the Tar Heel State. When I am not spending time with my family, I enjoy tennis, golf, pickleball and basketball.
