I went into general surgery so I could treat a wide range of conditions and found I enjoyed not just the variety - but the vast improvement many patients experience after surgery. We often treat lifestyle-limiting diseases, and seeing patients improve after surgery - and accomplish things they couldn't before - is very fulfilling. My approach to healthcare - and to surgical interventions, specifically - is patient-centered. My aim is to understand my patient's goals and values and then develop a surgical plan that helps them accomplish those goals. I'm a proud Eagle Scout, a recipient of the Lucius Blanchard Carolina Family Scholarship and winner of the UNC Department of Surgery's George Sheldon, MD Leadership Award in 2019 which is given to a 4th year medical student for outstanding academic and clinical achievement, and who possesses personal characteristics that promise a future leadership role in surgery. Outside the hospital, I enjoy spending time with my wife and son. We enjoy being on the water - whether that's at the beach or lake, running, walking our dog, Nellie, and watching basketball and football. My wife and I are both avid UNC Tar Heel fans. During basketball season, you can find us cheering on the Tarheels every chance we get.
