Overview
Originally from Pennsylvania, I attended Yale University as an undergraduate and then headed south for medical school at Duke. I have been with the Kernodle Clinic for over 25 years. I am married to a wonderful woman who grew up in Alamance County. We have four amazing children. Besides my job at the clinic, I also work as a hospitalist at ARMC. I pride myself on treating patients as if they were my friends and family.
