I am a primary care physician committed to providing excellent care to my patients. My focus is on preventative medicine which means doing our best to prevent chronic medical and mental health issues through healthy lifestyle and appropriate medical treatments. My wife and I are happy to call the Raleigh area our home. In my free time, I enjoy exploring the Raleigh area with my wife and two dogs. I also enjoy pickleball, bouldering/rock-climbing, taking my dogs for long walks, playing racing video games and watching my favorite Formula 1 team on Sundays.

People are often curious as to why one chooses medicine as a career. For me, it was a strong desire to help people maintain a healthy lifestyle and to fight the challenges of chronic illness. Of course, applied physiology in medicine has always fascinated me. The scope of illness and multigenerational nature of family medicine is very satisfying. I embrace all disciplines and patient ages that family medicine encompasses. In particular, geriatrics is challenging as it is multidisciplinary in management. Adolescent medicine is important as it lays the cornerstone for lifelong healthy habits. I truly enjoy all aspects of family medicine, and that is why I chose it for a career. My philosophy of practice is prevention of disease with a focus on personalized care. The numerous resources available in today's medical environment empowers a family doctor in ways that have never previously been possible. I am married with three adult children and one beagle. My outside interests include golf, swimming, gardening, paddle boarding and trail walking. I also volunteer in the PORCH program (a food service for the underprivileged).
