Overview
I’m passionate about advancing heart failure care through innovative devices, myofilament research, and digital twin technology. As a USAF veteran, I value collaboration and precision medicine. Family is my top priority, and outside of work, I enjoy classical music, playing the violin, and exploring the outdoors through running and hiking.
